In a rapidly changing working world, leaders are required to be able to constantly adapt their organisations to changes, to meet the requirements and interests of a more diverse membership, to use existing experience as well as new knowledge and to deal flexible with a wide range of situations. In doing so, they are dependent on broad, particularly European, networking and are increasingly faced with a public with whom they must interact just as intensively as with their own membership and alliance partners.
In trade unions and other workers' organizations, changes occur not only in membership structure and strength but also in management tasks and the individuals involved. New, young leaders are often well-educated but may lack the socialization in trade unions and other workers' organizations that leaders from previous generations had before assuming responsibility. Therefore, it is crucial to provide these new and young leaders with training that imparts knowledge in areas specific to the tasks and mission of trade unions and other workers' organisations. Such training should also cover the unique structures of trade unions and other workers' organisations and their role in the world of work and society. Most importantly, it should convey knowledge of the European dimension of workers' representation and its associated values.
