The professionalisation of company leaders: between discovering the business world and self-discovery (original) (raw)

2020

Abstract

This study deals with the professionalisation of company leaders from an innovative point of view, namely the entrepreneur’s experiential and existential learning during his/her first years in this capacity. It is based on a narrative investigation carried out with chief executive officers of organic cosmetics companies. The data are analyzed within the theoretical framework of learning biography. The results show that the professionalisation of company leaders varies according to their personal stories. The professionalisation process has an existential dimension as it implies a double discovery of the entrepreneur’s self and his/her relationship with the world.
