Motivation for the Program
The Leadership Building Program (LBP) is an educational project which aims at developing entrepreneurship virtues and skills among young people. It is the result of two observations: General education provides teenagers with theoretical knowledge, but not necessarily the tools to put that knowledge into practice.
Society’s excessive concern with comfort and over-protecting attitude make it difficult for teenagers to quickly reach full maturity and to handle their responsibilities.
The Leadership Building Program deals with these problems by helping young people to enrich both their human and professional formation. The careful balance between these two aspects is fundamental if the goal is to educate true leaders: people who excel because of the professional skills, but who are at the same time, role-models as humans. The understanding of leadership as a service to society is of capital importance for the program. In fact, many of the goals of the LBP could be summed up in just one: awaking in the students their sense of responsibility towards others. In other words, the program strives to create leaders who understand leadership as a service, and not as a means to achieve power or influence.
