The importance that local development has acquired requires municipalities’ boards that use science, technology and innovation to guarantee the development and for which, a participatory leadership that uses all the potential of the managers who make up the Municipalities Boards is essential. Objective: To apply a procedure that evaluates the leadership characteristics of Municipality Board managers with special attention to Health Managers in three municipalities of Havana.

Results: The assessment of the 22 leadership characteristics under study of each of the members of the Municipality Board as well as the systematization of the information corresponding to the Health Managers. Conclusions: The procedure makes it possible to propose actions to improve the functioning of the organization, the development of specific training plans and take advantage of the results for decision-making in the evaluation and promotion processes of managers and their reserves.
