This article examines the relationship between types of leadership and the results of health indicators in the Yorijarú and Kulesia-mana communities in Alta Guajira, Colombia, with a particular focus on socialization and training for the improvement of the quality of life and health of the members of these communities. The main objective is to determine how different leadership styles influence the effectiveness and sustainability ofhealth projects in the Yorijarú and Kulesiamana communities. The research focuses on tracking the activities and characteristics of health managers within a diverse and challenging cultural context, exploring whether certain leadership styles of health managers are more effective than others in promoting successful and sustainable outcomes in health projects implemented in the Yorijarú and Kulesiamana communities. The findings indicate that transformational leadership, which fosters inclusion and community engagement, is the type of leadership most present in community-appointed health managers, but no relationship can be found between these and project outcome indicators.

Purpose: This article examines the influence of emotional intelligence on organizational citizenship behavior and transformational and transactional leadership, and the impact of these dimensions on operational effectiveness. Design/Methodology: The analysis was based on 180 valid questionnaires from organizations in Colombia's manufacturing sector of the Valle del Cauca region. The variables were analyzed using structural equation modeling to identify the relationships among the studied constructs. Findings: The results suggest that emotional intelligence positively affects organizational citizenship behavior. Nevertheless, emotional intelligence does not impact transformational leadership and only partially affects transactional leadership and operational effectiveness. Emotional intelligence has a strong and positive impact on operational effectiveness when mediated by organizational citizenship behavior, which does have a strong and positive predictive power on operational effectiveness. Hence, in the search for competitive advantage, leaders should seek to improve operational effectiveness by focusing on developing emotional intelligence and organizational citizenship behaviour skills. Interestingly, of the two leadership styles examined in this study, only transactional leadership impacts operational effectiveness, which is inconsistent with the current literature and indicates a need for further leadership training. Originality/Value: The value of this paper lies in discerning the current capabilities and strategies that individuals in an organization must address for proper transactional and transformational leadership. However, before operational effectiveness and a sustainable competitive advantage can be achieved, the role of leaders should be managed through the appropriate application of the concepts of emotional intelligence and organizational leadership behavior.
