Abstract
The case recounts the personal story of Leopoldo López, a Venezuelan leader who was imprisoned for six years by the regime of Nicolás Maduro. From his childhood and years of study in the United States to his recent organization of an international forum known as the World Liberty Congress, with participants including Russian chess player Garry Kasparov, the text focuses on the key events, experiences, decisions, choices and challenges that explain his conception of leadership. Particularly significant are the years he spent in total isolation in prison, the key role played by his wife, Lilian Tintori, as an international ambassador for his cause, and his years of political exile in Madrid. In essence, the case presents a vital, personal, real-world reflection on leadership in today's global geopolitical environment.
