Abstract

This study focuses on the manager’s professional work. In particular, the main focus is to detect the possible new approach in managerial behaviour able to define this professional figure and a first idea of an ‘open manager’. Kindness, empathy, and sharing of objectives are characteristics that could revolutionize the figure of the leader. A transformation that moves away from the old models in favour of a horizontal and participatory organization of power. For this reason, the successful leader can interact with the human dimension of employees and guide them towards a shared goal.
