Book your free session! 

This course invites participants to reflect on how they lead today and how they want to further develop their leadership skills and mindsets for leading successfully ‘tomorrow’.

We will therefore explore some of the following questions:

• What does it take to lead people and teams towards high performance?
• How did it work in the past, what is changing, and how does successful team leadership look like in the near future?
• What mindsets are helpful to lead and engage people in organizations in times of constant change and increasing complexity?
• What skills can leaders develop, nurture, and leverage to foster their leadership impact?
• How can a ‘coaching leadership style’ support leaders in further developing their effectiveness in helping people and teams to excel, flourish, and grow – even in challenging times?

“USI is pleased to have confirmed its good ranking along with the rest of the Swiss university system. Together with seven other Swiss universities, we are, in fact, part of the so-called top 250. USI’s most appreciated features are its internationality and the very favourable students-professors ratio,” stresses USI’s Deputy Rector Lorenzo Cantoni. “Among Italian-speaking universities,” he adds, “we rank fourth, preceded only by Politecnico Milano, the University of Bologna and the Sapienza University of Rome”. “Naturally,” concludes the Deputy Rector, “we do not consider this ranking to be a finishing point; quite the contrary: the rankings are also an opportunity to reflect on how to further improve in the areas that are commonly used to measure quality and performance in our target sector.”

The QS World University Rankings is one of the most widely used and well-known academic rankings globally, along with the Times Higher Education, another international ranking in which USI is well represented. These rankings are compiled based on the analysis of a substantial amount of data. From these, indicators are developed, such as bibliometric (citations and references in scientific publications), the impact of research conducted by universities, the quality of teaching and international perspective.

What are university rankings?
University rankings are based on standard data collection procedures that measure various indicators, with the aim of making comparisons about the quality and performance of universities. Rankings are compiled annually based on the analysis of a substantial amount of data. From these, indicators are produced, such as bibliometric data (citations and references in scientific publications), the impact of research conducted by universities, the quality of teaching, and international perspective. Results may vary among different rankings because there are also differences in the indicators used and their relative weight in the calculation of rankings.
