The purpose of this investigation was to examine the contributions that the Fundação Real Grandeza is giving toward the awareness of its managers on the relevance of leadership as a pertinent factor to activate the organization¿s transformation process to face the constant challenges of its mission. Relationships between theory and experience during the construction of this study were strongly based on bibliographic and documental research. The methodology was essentially qualitative in search for a better understanding of the organization in terms of leadership building and practices, through personal contact of the researcher with the people involved. The expected data was gathered through interviews with managers, some senior employees and experts as well as during an especially planned workshop, including one high staff member and a team of managers. Questionaries were also issued to employees, favouring the presentation of quantitative data. The results of this investigation indicate that the organization still presents some characteristics of a conservative culture but, at the present time, it also shows a growing process of self organizational consciousness among its managers in relation to the importance of acting as leaders to face present and future difficulties which are considered inherent to the nature of services that this organization deals with. Transformation is beginning to take place and manifestations of leadership already exist at the moment, although other concrete initiatives are necessary to enable the organization to be better prepared to compete in the emerging scenario of development and expansion of pension funds.
