Training tomorrow’s leaders

This is an invaluable handbook for helping people get a grasp of the professional challenges arising in a wide range of different fields, from healthcare to fashion, from finance to luxury. It serves as a roadmap for navigating the complex maze of content and programs, guiding the choice of a master experience that aligns with individual aspirations and the desire to grow on a professional and personal level. This book is for people who are willing to accept the honor – and more importantly the onus – of a leadership position in the economic institutions of our society.

Good managers must possess a broad set of technical and managerial competencies, cultivate a strategic vision, and gain an awareness of the financial, environmental, and social sustainability of their decisions. The job description calls for skills, method, and a solid educational background. To acquire this professionalism, management education plays a decisive role, one which still today is often underestimated. If we think of a company like a big, complex orchestra, first of all managers need to become aware of their professional expectations and where their skills lie. This will enable them to forge their growth path, whether that leads to general management, as the “director” of the various sections, or toward specialization, as a “virtuoso” in a given instrument, an expert in a specific discipline capable of fitting into a complex environment. Second, in the life cycle of our professional development as responsible leaders, there are skills and competencies that dynamically become more critical than others. This is why it’s essential to understand when to invest in one direction or the other. This collection of contributions serves as a compass pointing the way to a clearer understanding of the differences and the typical features of various learning paths in the sphere of high-level managerial training, illustrating the critical competencies managers need to prepare for the challenges in this profession in an increasingly uncertain future.
