KLU is participating for the third consecutive year. KLU President Prof. Dr. Andreas Kaplan: “The requirements for leaders are changing rapidly. This makes it all the more important to prepare young talents early on for responsibility, collaboration, and international perspectives.”
Emotions and Leadership – Masterclass
The masterclass with Prisca Brosi, Professor of Human Resource Management and expert in diversity management and leadership at KLU, focuses on emotional management. Prof. Brosi combines current research with insights from business practice. “We all have emotions, also in the workplace – and we can learn to manage and use them consciously,” says Prisca Brosi. “They are a key factor in healthy organizations that are able to adapt and evolve.”
The masterclass will take place on Friday from 2:15 to 3:15 PM.
