He emphasizes that successful management incorporates three core values: courageous management, attentive management, and heartfelt management. A leader must accept their emotions and foster an environment where employees feel psychologically safe to express themselves, thereby enhancing team dynamics and communication. Furthermore, courageous decision-making is crucial in navigating uncertainty, ensuring the collective interests of the organization are prioritized alongside individual goals. This approach aligns with core company values and supports career planning (plan de carreras) within the team. According to Etienne Ageneau, embracing these principles can significantly enhance team management (gesti\u00f3n del equipo) and overall leadership effectiveness.
