Executive Master's in Leadership

Developing talent to create leaders capable of solving organizational challenges

Organizations change as they grow and develop. Sometimes this change is planned and caused by internal forces, but it can also be triggered by external events and influences. The need for organizations to understand and deal with these changes, keeping up with them and constantly adapting, requires a culture of innovation, capacities for (re)defining strategy, negotiation, alignment and mobilizing the whole, capacities that are fundamentally stimulated by leadership.

The Executive Master's in Leadership aims to contribute to the development of organizations through their talents, to create lasting lines of leadership that strengthen the management and development of people. In all organizations, human capital is strategic per se and is often the key factor in business sustainability. This master's degree will focus on developing leadership relationships suited to the different challenges facing organizations, including the challenges of attracting, developing and retaining talent through motivating practices.
