Leadership and emotional intelligence: rediscovering the human dimension in the age of AI (with networking cocktail)

NH Collection Milano CityLife Via Bartolomeo Colleoni, 14 - 20149 MILANO

In an increasingly digital, fast-paced and hybrid workplace, relationships and human signals are becoming harder to grasp, while complexity continues to grow: different generations work side by side, pressures intensify, expectations multiply, and emotional exposure is more pronounced.
In this context, leading is not only about driving results, but about being able to read what lies beneath the surface: tensions, motivations, vulnerabilities and untapped potential that directly influence how people and teams perform.
This is where emotional intelligence becomes strategic. It is neither softness nor mere introspection, but a core leadership competence that enables leaders to stand firmly in their role, guide people more effectively, and build organizational dynamics capable of sustaining performance and results over time.
This session explores how emotional intelligence has become a fundamental lever for leading the future of work.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

  • listen to the testimony of Daria Bignardi, who will share her experience of listening as a relational posture: creating spaces of trust where people can express themselves without masks, reading what remains unspoken, and navigating even tense situations with integrity and authenticity
  • engage with Marco Meschini, who will propose a paradigm shift in leadership: moving from the “hero leader” model to an ecosystemic vision, centered on relational dynamics and the organizational environment, as a fundamental approach to addressing the new complexities of contemporary work
  • listen to the testimony of Emanuela Trentin, who will share how personal balance and organizational responsibility intertwine in the leadership role, and how self-management and relational maturity impact the solidity and growth of the organization.
