leadership through them is an ambitious challenge, and no full and definitive
answer can be given in any leadership experience. We will always
fall short and will always be an ongoing process to the end. With advances
and setbacks, successes and failures. Always from the concept Ubuntu (becoming
a person) what it means to assume this incompleteness and imperfection,
from needing the “other” to be full, but also from those who are
not exempt from completing the “other” in a relation of interdependence.
As Ubuntu leaders we will be called to take care of the other, of the community,
of the planet and of ourselves, so that each one can be in full, in a
balanced ecosystem and that we will leave it in good condition to the next
generations. We will be called to connect what is distant, to build bridges
where there are walls or abysses, with the patience and determination of
those who do not give up easily. We will be called to serve, by leading. All
this, building a common house, where all - without exception – fit in and
where no talent is wasted. With the inspiration of Mandela, Luther King,
Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Malala, as well as many others who remain
anonymous building, every day, a more humane world, we can continue
to add our drop of water to the ocean, as Teresa of Calcutta said, without
which the ocean would not be the same

Wicked problems are a new challenge to organizations, since they are multidimensional, multifactorial, dynamic, open, interdependent, not repeatable and of unpredictable development. These types of problems have created an organizational response crisis since bureaucratic models are geared towards responding to linear problems with hierarchical, isolated, compartmented, sequential, rigid and uniform solutions. The new organizational response that emerged through the “New Public Management”, didn’t provide more effective solutions, since its fragmented, competitive and disintegrated approach proved to be inadequate. “What is the appropriate organizational model to solve wicked problems?” is the point of departure for an approach to complex social problems namely the integration of immigrants and the promotion of rights and the protection of children and youth at risk or in danger.
This analysis model has as its starting point the concept of “wicked
problem” and as its “theoretical lens” the Collaborative Advantage Theory, within the Inter-Organizational Relations framework.
At the center of this theoretical model are alternative organizational models, hereinafter designated “integrated governance”, in contrast with traditional bureaucratic models and the “new public management”.
The methodological approach used was qualitative in nature, particularly through two case studies: the National Centre for Immigrant Support and the Amadora Committee for the Protection of Children and Youth, through semi-structured interviews (a total of thirty-five interviews were made and their respective content analyzed), and through documental analysis and articles from the press (highlighting the news content relevant to this research that was published in reference papers). For the treatment of information we opted for content analysis and quantitative analysis, using the Wilder Collaboration Factors Index as a benchmark to evaluate the collaborative dynamics.
From the research carried out we can conclude that for the management of wicked problems, an integrated governance model, understood as the building, maintenance and development of collaborative inter-organizational relationships, is effective and efficient.
We do not ignore, however, its intrinsic difficulties in its development.
Similarly, from the literature and case studies reviewed, we sought to understand what are the critical success factors for integrated governance, targeting with particular attention, the leadership model, the participation of the stakeholders, communication and
monitoring/evaluation, the generation or dissipation of trust, resulting from the interaction of all of the above mentioned elements.
In order to deepen the initial analysis model, a GovInt Matrix proposal is presented as an approach to this organizational model as well as a set of general guiding principles for the development of integrated governance, inspired by the dynamics of complex adaptive systems.
