Take the "human factor" into account!

In challenging leadership situations, involving the people concerned is a crucial factor for success. Employees, line managers and external stakeholders can all have a significant influence on processes. Understanding human limitations, potential and capabilities, as well as having the tools to select and develop the right people for an organisation's activities, are essential skills for today's leaders.

The subject areas covered in the CAS in Human Factors in Leadership (CAS HF)

The CAS HF addresses the full range of human factors relevant to leadership. It considers perceptual errors and self-awareness, differences and similarities, conflicts and shared visions, as well as corporate culture and diversity. In doing so, it examines human factors at various levels of analysis, ranging from the individual to broader societal perspectives.

The CAS HF can be completed as a stand-alone programme or as part of the MAS in Effective Leadership. All programmes within the MAS in Effective Leadership are delivered in collaboration with the Swiss Armed Forces' Armed Forces College (AFC).
