A day to rethink leadership in the new business era
Last Thursday, June 26, the Cátedra de Empresa y Humanismo of the University of Valencia and Popular Bank held a key event in Alaquàs to understand the challenges and transformations facing today's leadership. Under the title 'Leadership 3.0: People, Technologies, and Results,' the session was given by Jose Juan Agudo, expert in team management and business transformation.
In a context characterized by the emergence of artificial intelligence, generational diversity, remote work, and the growing demand for purpose among younger generations, the traditional leadership model is insufficient.
During the conference, Agudo offered an in-depth and up-to-date look at how leaders must evolve to adapt to a more complex and demanding environment. Some of the key points discussed included:
What are today's world leaders like? The day began with this question to explore the skills and attitudes needed in an environment where uncertainty is the new constant.
The generational challenge: New generations not only question previous models, but also demand authenticity, consistency, and real values. Leading today means knowing how to connect with very different people.
Trust and security in uncertain times: In a scenario marked by job dissatisfaction, stress and exhaustion, Agudo stressed that "He who transmits security has the power". Trust thus becomes a key competency of today's leadership.
Technology and leadership: How far can (or should) technology go in decision-making, communication, and team management? Technology can be an ally, but leadership remains, above all, a profoundly human endeavor.
The event, held at the headquarters of the Regional Group of Businessmen of Alaquàs, It brought together professionals from different sectors interested in updating their perspective on leadership and sharing experiences. The session concluded with a participatory discussion, where attendees posed questions about the role of leaders in environments of high turnover, automation, and widespread demotivation.
From the Cátedra de Empresa y Humanismo, We thank all attendees for their participation and José Juan Agudo for his lucid and practical vision. We firmly believe that the leadership of the future will be one that knows how to balance technology, results, and, above all, humanity.
