Executive Education: A Process of Continuous Development

Jean-Louis Scaringella

Chapter 30 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 279-286 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Running a company in today’s complex and uncertain world is an activity which demands an instinct for action, vast knowledge, marked human qualities and an inclination to reflect upon things, because it also requires an understanding of how society and the world are changing. Because knowledge and practical know-how can become quickly outdated, and disruption is nearly serial, a middle manager aspiring to the highest level of responsibility must engage in a continuous process of self-improvement and personal development. Once he reaches his goal and becomes a senior executive, he cannot rest on his laurels, but must continue to progress and perpetually renew his inspiration and personal energy.
