This research discussed the leadership production in the relational practices of a Brazilian student movement organization in which an ethnomethodology located in multiple locations where the organization operates was carried out. Since the return of the postgraduate movement to the Brazilian public scene in 2019 during the manifestations known as tsunami da educação, against the federal universities budget cuts, Brazilian national postgraduate system face the constant contingency of resources and budget cuts for programs and projects which direct and immediately affect the reality of their actors. In this scenario, postgraduate representative organizations play an important role in producing organizing practices that offer to the actions of their participants a type of directionality favorable to the resolution of their demands: leadership. However, it is still a challenge for the field to think about leadership beyond the classic organizations usually found in private sectors of business-civil society, so as to conceive their practices in informal and decentralized organizational structures, where the figure of heroic and individual leaders fades. It is also challenging to think about leadership practices outside the assumption of achieving instrumental goals defined for the proper functioning of organizations. These challenges, nonetheless, do not indicate the non-existence of leadership, but the existence of non business/managerial organizing practices related to the phenomenon that are still poorly understood in resistance and social struggle organizations. The ethnomethodological analysis highlights two leadership practices produced in the interactions between the participants of the studied organization.
