Hello, IACA Colleagues and Friends!
It gives me great pleasure to share the English version of my article entitled "Training in Leadership, Teamwork and Management: A Tool for Change in Justice." In this piece, I humbly reflect upon the imperative of fostering leadership, collaborative spirit, and sound managerial principles within judicial institutions, elements that, when cultivated with discernment, may serve as powerful instruments for transformation and excellence in the administration of justice.
I hope this contribution can be of interest to colleagues, scholars, and professionals devoted to the noble pursuit of judicial improvement and institutional strengthening.
With all good wishes,
Luis Maria Palma, Advisory Council Chair and Immediate Past President of IACA

Training in Leadership, Teamwork and Management: A Tool for Change in Justice Analysis of the benefits of continuing education in leadership and teamwork for the improvement of the service of the judiciary.
