Abstract

In a research interview, the CEO of a large Danish insurance company reflected on her much publicised 2008 pilgrimage with four ethnic minoritised young men towards Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain (known as El Camino).1 The walk was a corporate learning activity for managers of the firm and the aim was to develop personal and authentic leadership for the future (Raffnsøe and Staunæs 2014b). On the tour, the managers were supposed to become better leaders by leading the four youngsters, who were between 15 and 20 years old and had a criminal record, to the pilgrimage destination. If the youngsters walked the full distance, they would gain a trainee position in the company.
