An exploration of the discourse of "empathic leadership" in Argentine culture ¿Dirigir desde el punto de vista de los otros? Una exploración del discurso del “liderazgo empático” en la cultura argentina Haidar, Victoria empathy leadership management political communication neuroscience liderazgo empatía management comunicación política neurociencia The article explores, through the construction and analysis of a documentary corpus, the imbrication of empathy in reflections and proposals on political and business leadership that currently circulate in Argentina. The first section argues that the discourse on empathic leadership, although it comes from the field of management, also radiates knowledge and elaborations linked to political activity. Assuming, based on governmentality studies, that every government practice is deployed in a medium of thought, sections two and three show its functioning as a tool that allows leaders to govern emotions, as well as read and understand the mental and emotional universes of others. For its part, the fourth section argues that the reference to empathy also serves as a basis for establishing distinctions that are pertinent to the field of leadership studies and the debates that surround the national political reality. The work closes with a reflection on the ambivalent character of empathy that aims to discuss the optimism of the leadership reform proposals that are inspired by it. El artículo explora, a través de la construcción y análisis de un corpus documental, la imbricación de la empatía en reflexiones y propuestas relativas a la cuestión del liderazgo que circulan actualmente en Argentina. En el primer apartado se sostiene que el discurso sobre el liderazgo empático, si bien procede del ámbito del management, irradia, asimismo, saberes y elaboraciones vinculados a la actividad política. Asumiendo, en clave de los estudios de gubernamentalidad, que toda práctica de gobierno se despliega en un medio de pensamiento, en los apartados dos y tres se muestra su funcionamiento como herramienta que permite a los líderes tanto gobernar las emociones como leer y entender los universos mentales y emocionales de los demás. Por su parte, en el cuarto apartado se argumenta que la referencia a la empatía también sirve de fundamento para establecer distinciones que son pertinentes al campo de estudios sobre el liderazgo y a los debates que surcan la realidad política nacional. El trabajo se cierra con una reflexión en torno al carácter ambivalente de la empatía que tiene por propósito discutir el optimismo de las propuestas de reforma del liderazgo que se inspiran en ella.
