English term

budding leaders

English to French Other Linguistics
These two words are, to be sure, among the finest in the language. One of the few certainties in business, or economics, or life in general is that thought is in short supply and high demand (at least among those who have thought about it). Hence, perhaps, the consultants' interest, since such circumstances tend to lead to higher prices, according to economic thought leaders through the ages. And leadership? Everyone knows that more is needed of that - though many people have second thoughts, once they have glimpsed who the ///budding leaders/// might be. It is when the two words are combined, and attached to a department in a consultancy, or a professor's course, or a book chapter, or a series of publications, that the eyebrows start offering a spot ofleading-edge scepticism (benchmarked to best scepticism practice).

Thanks for your help.

les leaders en puissance

j'hésite sur "leaders" mais "en puissance" restera valable peu importe votre choix de mot. Il me faudrait lire le texte pour faire un choix plus précis
