Teaching Future Leaders

Business schools are responsible for preparing new generations of leaders for a networked globalized society. We are missing a humanistic element within the current business education. The challenge is therefore : How do we bring a commitment to placing our needs as human beings at the center of our institutions, work, and professions, rather than to follow  blindly  the logic of an abstract shareholder value thinking and of impersonal markets?

We are a group of academics who have already extensive experience in engaging firms and stakeholder groups through our teaching and research. In this new initiative we invite practitioners from diverse firms and organizations, as well as scholars and students from various fields, to support educators of future leaders fostering teaching and research that contributes to the humanistic mission of “people for people.”   We base thereby on our insights of our research (see Stakeholders matter...) see also our teaching activities at bachelor, master and  doctorate level.
