UManresa launches a university expert degree in Value-Based Leadership in health and social organizations. Twenty-five people with team management responsibilities in various fields form the pioneering group of this first edition of the course designed by the Chair of Value-Based Leadership. It is delivered in a blended format, with both classroom and synchronous online sessions. The initial session, held on January 15, 2025, was led by Valentí Martínez and Òscar Dalmau, the academic director and lecturer of the Chair, respectively.
The course follows the Chair’s own theoretical model, based on the experiences of Pep Guardiola and Manel Estiarte, which organizes values in an imaginary playing field, facilitating their understanding and application. The program emphasizes values such as exemplarity, honesty, discipline, commitment, generosity, boldness, innovation, excellence, and gratitude, which are essential for the development of ethical and effective leadership. Using a 4-3-3 model, inspired by a football lineup, the Chair’s model allows for reflection on leadership from four dimensions (person, team, organization, and environment).
