How can we recognise high quality management education today, and what makes it different from traditional academic models? Jiří Koleňák, CEO of NEWTON University Group, and Karel Novotný, Head of the NEWTON Business Accelerator, mentor, marketing lecturer, and founder of Brand Family, discussed this topic in a morning interview on CNN Prima NEWS.

They emphasised that meaningful management education is not about collecting tools, but about working with personal purpose, self reflection, and real life situations that reshape leadership thinking. According to them, education only makes sense when it can be immediately applied in practice.

The discussion also highlighted the importance of community, strong connections between students, alumni, and mentors, and the practical impact of study. Graduates leave not only with a degree, but with transformed projects, strategies, and businesses.
