Innovation in Management: towards the Open Manager

This study focuses on the manager’s professional work. In particular, the
main focus is to detect the possible new approach in the managerial behavior able to
define this professional figure and a first idea of ‘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 is able to interact the human dimension of employees and guide them towards a shared goal.
