Human beings are afraid of what they do not know, which is why external society is afraid when it hears about prison and prisoners. With InGalera, inside the Bollate prison where the prisoners work, we tried to do something disruptive, taking our guests by the throat and bringing the bon ton behind bars. The pride of being able to do it is the pride of all those who are part of it: the pride of belonging. InGalera is on the Michelin guide thanks to the whole team: for the human being it is essential to belong to something that generates pride and respect from others. The inmates who work here also benefit from these aspects.

If we really are in a new world, and we are, then first of all we need to understand how to be new leaders, to put people at the center even more than before.

Willpower, courage, ability to get involved and never back down in the face of difficulties: these are some of the ingredients that made Maurizia great in her sport, so much so that she became captain of a national team that, as she reminds us, has won and convinced. To be a leader you need to have the ability to listen and not hear, and to know the differences. And above all: the cups are won from Monday morning and retired on Sunday.

Being a leader means showing people what the future will look like and guiding them to make it come true. Being a leader means making people feel better day in and day out. Being a leader means bringing value at all times. All this is possible only when you have a vision: without it we are blind. How to think about it, how to imagine it, how to make it real?

Any team is made up of people, and people build relationships. Each leader must necessarily build one-to-one relationships and deal individually with the team. “I think it is the most correct mental posture to be a leader in a context where the only constant is change: we must constantly question our certainties. Without a strong ambition, we risk being crushed by instability. "

Leadership is the most important driver of the success of a company and, if we think about it, also of a company. Winning leadership is the one that involves people, that inspires them, that creates an engine and an energy to make organizations more courageous: the leader today must have a vision, but at the same time involve people, bring out the best. of each individual who feels they can give their best in the organization. Because the purpose of going to work is not just to perform a task, but to participate in the creation of something important.

The leader is often imagined as an individual alone in command and, for this reason, loneliness appears to be a characteristic feature of this figure. In reality, it is others - and how one relates to them - the most distinctive element of the leader. In fact, contemporary leadership, immersed in a liquid, changeable and uncertain world, can fully realize itself and fulfill its task exclusively through the relationships that the leader is able to create and cultivate with the rest of the world. In this perspective, therefore, the others become an essential source of knowledge and a decisive push towards the emergence and definition of the leader, bridging his gaps and maximizing his qualities.

In the last 30 years we have gone from a complicated world to a complex one: the number of variables is constantly changing. For this reason the words that already exist are not enough for the new leadership, buti s necessary to create new ones. As humbition, the crasis of humility and ambition.

Knowing yourself and inspiring others: the extremes of a list of points necessary to be a good leader. All with one word in common: trust. This is the cornerstone on which to build one's leadership according to Simon, which will take us on a journey to discover the characteristics of a good leader.
