Leadership is an ample field in the universe of the organizational behavior. The concepts are problematic, in the direction of the delimitation of the study object. Most of literature originates in social psychology, the theory politics little is explored in the construction of the concepts. Contributions of the deriving authors of social psychology, when translated for the great public they had taken the dissemination of stereotype and "to do", marked for the politically correct call and for the no politics of the subject. Objective: to show that science politics can extend the debate, considering the study of the relations between being able and leadership in the organizations. Methodology: bibliographical, compatible revision with the theoretical assay. Conclusions: science politics allows to define leadership as exercise of power in the organizations, skirting the conceptual problem of the subject; power does not have negative connotation or positive, such judgments respect to the forms and objectives of the power; to exert the power is a contingency of the leadership.Downloads
