Leadership Training: Real Change Begins Beyond the Comfort Zone

Last year’s NEWTON Business Summits in both metropolitan hubs confirmed that a modern manager’s most valuable asset is not just knowledge, but access to people who translate theory into practice every day. The 2025 Summits became a place to gain priceless contacts and where students (not only) of MBA programs meet the individuals currently shaping the Czech market.

Success today is no longer built solely on individual performance, but primarily on the ability to collaborate, lead dialogue and manage conflict. These are exactly the skills developed by a new MBA programme focused on leadership and collaboration, created at NEWTON University. An article in Finmag shows why modern management education is shifting away from hard skills towards working with people, with oneself, and with team dynamics. The programme responds to real-world practice needs and prepares leaders for a world in which long-term success is impossible without collaboration.

Universities should do more than just mechanically pass on information. Jiří Koleňák, CEO of the NEWTON University Group, explains in an interview for Komora magazine why developing leadership and a willingness to accept personal responsibility is the true key to success in the job market.
