Presentation of the subject


  • We live in a time of constant change, where risk and uncertainty complicate the management of our teams. We need innovative profiles who are capable of addressing a decision-making process that guarantees the sustainability of business models.

    The new leadership style must bring together the following positive leader tools:


    Positive leaders:
    • Behavioral decision making
    • Emotional regulation
    • Beginners mind


    Workforce culture:
    • High quality connections
    • Positive communication
    • Innovation & Re-design

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.
