Abstract

I am pleased with the initiative of Vacation Is A Human Right (VIAHR), a foundation dedicated to preventing burnout and promoting rest as a human right, which today brings us together in this historic and heroic City of Cartagena de Indias, a pioneer of tourism in Colombia.

"Leading without wearing yourself out" is the title that the organization of this Third Ibero-American Congress has given to my participation and to the reflections that I will share with you shortly. The title supposes, in the first place, some reflections on the profile of a leader, what leadership consists of in any institution or area of society and the attitudes and lifestyle that must be assumed in that social role so as not to fail or not burn out in the attempt.
