Abstract: The article proposes a new reading grid of the type of managers according to the new objectives of the company, starting from the premise that companies can no longer only seek short-term profitability but must develop a shared value for the benefit of actors other than the shareholder with extra-financial criteria. Indeed, depending on the term (short / long) in which the company is located and the objectives sought by the manager (individual interest / societal / environmental implications and contribution to the common good), it is possible to establish two types of managers: missionaries and mercenaries. The article develops the characteristics specific to each manager profile by putting the proposed management typologies into perspective with the objectives that the company seeks to achieve.
