On the 5th AmCham Young Professionals Meeting, we hosted two outstanding managers – Enzo Smrekar and Jasna Mihelj Coustaury.

The theme of the meeting was the charisma, confidence and personal power of the business leader.

Enzo Smrekar, MBA, General Manager SBU Savory Spreads and Member of the Board at Droga Kolinska d.d. at Atlantic Grupa, pointed out that the times when the manager determined what someone had to do, were over. Nowadays, the employees have to be very self-initiative and creative, meaning that they should educate themselves constantly.
Jasna Mihelj Coustaury, Advisor to the Director at Aviat Networks, Aviat Slovenia, among other stressed out that a personally powerful leader should leave the way of communication open to his subordinates and that there should be a mutual communication.

The meeting was held in the form of questions and answers that developed in a constructive dialogue.
