Crisis Management in Sanità e nella PA
Costruire e comunicare valore nell'emergenza: il ruolo della leadership nelle aziende sanitarie e di pubblici servizi

Leading through uncertainty: leadership and communication for managing crises and emergencies in Healthcare and Public Administration
In an increasingly interconnected and fragile world marked by health, social, environmental, and institutional crises, this program is designed for those who must navigate the unpredictable—combining technical and relational skills, interpretative ability, and context-driven leadership. Managing crises requires more than procedures: it calls for vision, empathy, and the capacity to adapt to complexity.
The program blends theory and practice to provide concrete tools for identifying vulnerabilities, turning challenges into opportunities, making decisions amid uncertainty, and fostering trust, cohesion, and effective communication. It emphasizes the role of public leadership, a culture of prevention and resilience, and respect for operational specificities.
Through real cases, conceptual models, and guided discussions, participants will critically reflect on their professional practices and broaden their perspectives for action—developing the mindset and capabilities needed to lead effectively in complex and uncertain environments.
The program is part of the "People Management and Public Leadership" competency area of the Government Academy. Explore all programs and contact us to create a customized education pathway.
