A New Breed of Bosses

The search for the Euro-executive

  • Chapter

Abstract

A new breed of manager is emerging in Europe. Dubbed “the Euro-executives”, the new managers feel at home in any European country, speak two or three languages with enviable fluency, and bask in the certainty of heading the shortlists for the most influential jobs. Cuckoo-like in their rapid ascendancy, they are pushing out the older breed of executives who know how to manage in only one or two countries, speak only their native tongue, and prefer to work for one company for most of their working lives.
