leadership vision

Just do it evidence based. I work in communications and public affairs. In this area, leadership means creating trust among all dialogue partners through professional communication based on democracy and the rule of law as well as on facts and scientific evidence. Other opinions are to be respected. However, contradiction is mandatory if fact-free opinions are expressed.

my story

It is a big privilege to exchange healthcare experience with all the Sciana experts.
