A GUIDE FOR UNCERTAINTY
Uncertainty on the markets and the pressure to get results, the growing impact of technology and of new ways of working, the difficulty to motivate and to make people with different backgrounds, culture and age cooperate, force us to reflect on what it means today to use one’s leadership in an organization or even whether it’s still possible to play the role of the leader.
In reality, it’s precisely in difficult situations that leadership becomes essential, it’s when there are no safe answers that one can make the difference with people by being an example, setting up a shared meaning and identifying ambitious challenges. Clearly, when complexity increases nothing can be left to chance: we need to have a clear idea of “how people work”, starting from ourselves and our leading style, training the relevant skills for a leader, to improve team work and innovation at the workplace.
The course, with a mix of assessments, e-learning activities, classroom lectures, exercises, project work, and coaching is designed to foster testing the acquired concepts; indeed practice supports learning and it guarantees having an impact on one’s people.
The course is intended for those professionals who manage people or for those who are about to start in such a position and it includes three modules (one basic and two advanced): leadership fundamentals, from awareness to action, experiencing the future. The course ends with a project work and a day of presentations to share experiences among participants.
The course, thanks to the varied mix of teaching methods, is therefore suitable for those who wish to analyze more in depth the leadership concepts, using the most modern and cutting-hedge contributions, and also for those wishing to find a support in the practical implementation.

Leadership in action (ed. 2019)
"Ho scelto di partecipare al corso perché nei contesti lavorativi la gestione delle risorse umane è un tema sempre più strategico e importante. Il corso mi ha permesso di svolgere un percorso di autovalutazione individuale e di valutazione del team, fino ad ora inesplorati e non approfonditi. Grazie alle lezioni in aula e ai materiali e-learning ho aumentato lo studio di tutti gli aspetti relativi alla leadership. Inoltre il coaching e il project work finale sono stati strumenti di analisi interessanti. Consiglio il corso a tutte le persone che credono nel valore umano nei contesti lavorativi e vogliono migliorarsi nelle skill relazionali."
