9 The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training ● We noted that this training programme raises management awareness of: o the merits of the Social Economy o the sense of belonging and pride at belonging to this sector o the need to develop consistency between everyone's daily practices as regards the values advocated, the key is therefore to be particularly attentive to individual behaviour o the essential role of managers in their ability to act as facilitators and intermediaries to encourage employees also to develop an awareness of the importance of the Social Economy and the sense of, and consequently pride in, belonging Retro planning & work packages

10  The role of management according to Mintzberg The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training (ctd.)

11  As a leader, that is as the person who shows the direction, the manager needs to be well aware of the specificities of Social Economy, hence the need for a specific training.  Indeed, most professionals in the field are today recruited based upon their technical skills, and less upon their human skills and the values they are keen on promoting.  Therefore, social economy organisations may be losing the specificities of their culture as they get more ‘professional’ and less ‘militant’, if they don’t give good care to maintaining their culture and values throughout the process.  The addition of a specific management training in social economy appears therefore vital to this professionalization process Retro planning & work packages The specificity of management in social economy and the needs for specific training (ctd)
