Abstract

Leadership is today one of the main aspects of important relevance within an organizational environment. The changes imposed by the economy, the development of technology and market competition itself provide major transformations and challenges that directly affect the profile of forestry engineers in organizations. By applying questionnaires about the leadership profile required of these professionals, we sought to identify the relationship between the types of leadership: autocratic, liberal and democratic of forestry engineers occupying leadership positions and the perspective of students in their final year of forestry engineering courses. Through the analysis of the data obtained, it was found that the democratic style presented a higher level of agreement between engineers and students. According to the survey, it was the style that predominated. However, the research highlighted the lack of difficulty in having experiences that enable students to develop their leadership skills. Considering it necessary to implement, even in the academic environment, cases and practical examples of the reality of forestry engineers.
