Abstract:
This paper deals with the modern corporate environment and the trends in its development in relation to the abilities required of professional managers and the respective training requirements. Furthermore, the paper presents selected properties of the developing corporate environment and lists further parametres, supplementing standard models which describe the abilities and aptitudes of professional managers. The papers also presents preliminary results of a pilot research project aimed at identifying partial indices for the development and verification of a unifying N-dimensional X-tream Index. In the context of professional training and education for management and entrepreneurship in a modern corporate environment the paper describes natural potentials of individuals resulting in subtle skills, which are refined using the methods of connatural management; these skills may not be acquired through standard training and education models for individuals, but may be identified and further developed. In addition to hard and soft skills, these aptitudes and abilities influence good and bad performance and results of professional managers and entrepreneurs, or are related to the risk of failure of the human factor. The failure may have the form of a wrong decision or conduct of an individual or of a breakdown of an individual in charge of a project or process.
