Abstract

The objective of the research is to deepen understanding of how learning processes of managers occurred throughout their lives, highlighting the learning arising from major changes perceived in the contemporary context, using the life history method. The results show that different learning processes of managers, inserted in a context with similar social expectations, relate to their life stages and career development as well as to their lived experiences and changes. There was also new management learning arising from contemporary transformations, demonstrating some deficiencies regarding human qualities such as interpersonal relationships, ability to work collectively, intuition, communication and emotional stability, which require constant self-criticism and learning and which were not contemplated by management education.
