Leadership Seminar, Zaragoza, 09-11 June 2026

Leadership should be considered the most crucial skill any officer must acquire during their initial educational process.

The leadership approach must consider not only a wide range of abilities that young officers must demonstrate they are capable of utilizing, but also a change in mindset, acquiring attitudes and values ​​that they must deeply internalize to do not only the “things right“, but also the “right things.”
