This research analyzed the impact caused by transformational leadership in the selected public companies of the Salinas canton and whether this leadership style is applied in its entirety, as well as whether gender is a factor adopted in proportion by men or women, without any desire for controversy or comparison of competencies between them. An exploratory-descriptive type of research was used for the development of the topic, as well as a qualitative-quantitative design, with the support of a bibliographic study that included the review of theories and contributions of several authors. Furthermore, in the data collection, surveys were applied to workers and interviews with the leaders of the public companies involved in the study. Finally, details of the results obtained were presented, and the study proceeded with the formulation of conclusions and recommendations to demonstrate that transformational leadership is currently positive and that there is an impact caused by gender.
