Abstract: This article is about taking stock of the changes facing all executives in the private sector. Indeed, a real transformation of the supervisory activities is underway in all professional branches which results in particular from changes in management techniques: reduction in hierarchical levels, organization in profit centers, establishment of remuneration linked to performance indicators. performance, etc. This change not only forces the manager to review his behavior and change his ways of thinking, but above all it results in transforming him into a true internal entrepreneur. At the head of his production unit, the manager must now know how to manage a system of collective action comprising at the same time technical, financial and managerial dimensions. In doing so, he finds himself faced with the need to accept uncertainty and live in ambiguity, establishing new relationships with his business. It is therefore hardly surprising that the theme of managerial training becomes crucial because the question arises of how to prepare them to evolve in a world of production where work is no longer prescriptible except by oneself.
