Abstract: League Central America (LCA) is presented as an example of leaders, managers, guides and entrepreneurs who are starting a new era in the management of companies, where values and spirituality mark the path to excellence and define administrative roles, behaviors and attitudes of all members of the organization. Corporate Social Responsibility is the Management Model. Leaders in the business world are judged by hardnumber figures, short term actions; added value and wealth creation long term vision & purpose. But, surely, leadership is in itself a risky business role and a visionary leader does not shy away from taking risks because following his/her vision is inherently hazardous. Visionary leaders understand that spirituality, in the work place context, is about finding, meanings and purpose beyond one’s self. It means that need the others. The working life of engagement is about understanding and using our family social values and strengths in the day today. When we experience this deep engagement and absorption we are a state of flow (Csikszentmihaily, 1975 – Gardner 2002). A meaningful life comes from serving others, volunteer activities or visionary work. The visionary leader role may be instrumental by opening opportunities to motivational and positive work. The D.N.A. of Maquila League culture is oriented to task results and processes, it means short term. The professors we are trying to work with its managers, around 20-25, and supervisors, around 60, to develop crucial leadership skills based at medium- long term objectives like: • Showing respect for others, Demonstrating fair treatment in conflict situations, Demonstrating fair treatment in conflict situations, Expressing caring and concern, Listening responsively, Recognizing the contributions. Engaging in reflective practice every morning after to know the results of the day before. • Mission: Corporate Social Responsibility.
