Leadership Academy 2025/2026

That people are the true foundation of a company like Marcolin is once again confirmed by its innovative continuous training project, which for five years has promoted the development of professional skills within the organization. Leadership Academy – the name of the program launched in 2021 and enriched in 2023 with modules focused on strengthening soft skills linked to female leadership – goes beyond creating the best conditions to enhance individual aptitudes. It also serves as a training ground for building new, competent and inclusive teams, capable of addressing today’s challenges.

Openness to change, pragmatism, responsibility and a strong sense of belonging are among the key themes explored over the years during Academy sessions. Topics addressed – including in the most recent edition – have touched on major strategic areas, from the increasingly close dialogue between the physical and digital worlds to corporate social and environmental responsibility, as well as competition among European, Chinese and North American development platforms. A complex and challenging landscape that, more than ever, calls for agile, change-oriented thinking from aware and well-prepared leaders.

Enhancing these days of work, study and workshops was a visit to Barovier & Toso in Murano, a historic company founded in 1200 and today an undisputed leader in glassmaking, as well as a point of reference for contemporary designers and artists eager to engage with a medium as unique and fascinating as glass. A manufacturing excellence where, much like at Marcolin, craftsmanship, technology and creativity converge – and for this reason, a true source of inspiration.
