Abstract
Some municipal entities face problems in the execution of their projects, affecting the development of objectives, admiration and well-being of their community, based on this situation the managerial skills of municipal cabinet leaders were analyzed, and their impact on project management within the local public administration. The study was developed using a mixed explanatory approach with a quantitative predominance, integrating structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and review of projects executed by the different municipal agencies. The population was made up of secretaries of office and officials attached to the municipal cabinet. The instrument assessed five managerial dimensions: leadership, communication, self-awareness, teamwork, and search for results, using a five-point Likert scale. The results showed strengths in collaborative work and achievement orientation, while leadership presented the lowest score, reflecting limitations related to team motivation, strategic communication and organizational leadership.
