Technology is on the one hand replacing many of our jobs, but it is also freeing us from many repetitive tasks, and thus forcing us to reshape and transform traditional positions and professions. We must provide current and future generations the possibility of having the strengths and abilities to constantly refocus their lives.That means agile, dynamic, executive and perhaps less hierarchical management styles that promote flexibility, and leadership roles which should aim at forming good working teams, reaching consensual visions, while offering more "carrots" than sticks.Management. in the 21st century, aims to be more horizontal.

But at the same, it should be a process that also recognizes individual prowess and provides the necessary room to exploit creative and innovative improvisations.”
