Methodological triangulation was addressed by collecting data from several sources and through different methods. Seven participants from Mexico and six from the United States who graduated between 2017-2021 from diverse business bachelor’s programs, and have been in leadership positions in the workplace, were interviewed. The strategies of pursuing members’ meanings, coding, and analytic memos were employed for analyzing single cases. Also, I used a model of leadership competencies development as an a posteriori theoretical framework. For cross-case analysis, I employed the strategies of coding, similarity, and analytic memos. Five findings from the Mexican data and four from the American data are discussed within their institutional contexts. Implications for research, theory, and practice are included.application/pdfCopyright is held by the author who has granted the Oklahoma State University Library the non-exclusive right to share this material in its institutional repository.
