Exploring Leadership in Complex and Global Environments

The intensive course Leadership is one of the customized learning paths offered to students of the 22nd cycle of the Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP).

Customized learning paths enable ASPERS to explore specific areas of interest while engaging with academics and professionals from leading institutions. The programme complements the interdisciplinary education that characterizes the ASP experience.

Taught by Prof. Els Van de Water of Luiss Business School, the course examines the skills needed to lead effectively in complex, global, and rapidly evolving environments.

Participants explore key dimensions of contemporary leadership, including digital transformation, organizational change, hybrid forms of collaboration, psychological safety, and ethical leadership.

The programme combines theoretical perspectives with practical applications. Students reflect on personal values, strengths, and leadership styles while developing competencies in communication, active listening, feedback, and team management.

The course also addresses decision-making, collaboration, and influence in complex organizational settings. By strengthening both personal and interpersonal leadership capabilities, participants gain practical tools to navigate contemporary professional challenges.
