O problema estudado neste artigo diz respeito à compreensão da competência dos líderes para tomar decisões e algumas das limitações psicológicas envolvidas neste processo. O principal objetivo foi avaliar a competência decisória de uma amostra de brasileiros com cargos de autoridade atuantes em diferentes setores proporcionando uma maior compreensão do papel da liderança nos negócios. Utilizamos componentes do método Adult Decision Making Competence (A-DMC). Os resultados foram baseados em uma amostra filtrada de 49 líderes. Os dados coletados permitiram uma análise da competência de tomada de decisão individual, do grupo e uma comparação com outros estudos da literatura. Além disso, os executivos avaliados superaram os líderes seniores nos componentes Resistência ao enquadramento e Excesso ou Falta de confiança, enquanto eles não tiveram resultado expressivo para Consistência para percepção do risco e Resistência a Custos passados. Verificou-se também que nenhum dos líderes obteve um resultado impecável no questionário, evidenciando, assim, que todos os participantes têm espaço para melhoria na tomada de decisão. Embora não seja objetivo deste estudo generalizar esses resultados para a população brasileira, os resultados estão em consonância com os relatados na literatura e complementam estudos anteriores mais amplos realizados nos Estados Unidos, Eslováquia, Suécia e Itália, por meio da análise de líderes empresariais no setor privado, uma amostra alvo que ainda não havia sido explorada. Ele também fornece intuições para aplicações práticas no desenvolvimento de competências de liderança.
