Leadership for Managers

The Program

Leadership for Managers

"Social Leadership for Executives" was launched in 2021 as part of the Social Equity Initiative, a partnership between Nova SBE, the “la Caixa” Foundation, and BPI, with the goal of strengthening the social sector in Portugal.

The programme’s mission is to promote the creation of Advisory Boards within social organizations, combining the strategic input of senior executives from the private sector with the on-the-ground expertise of organizational leadership.

Its vision is to contribute to a society supported by robust, sustainable, and modern social economy organizations, capable of attracting both talent and resources.

Developed by the Nova SBE Leadership for Impact Knowledge Center, this initiative actively supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
