During his address at the Leadership School , themed " Human Touch: Leading and Managing Talent in Ports ," Díaz emphasized the need for leadership that combines strategic vision with human sensitivity.
In his remarks, Díaz stated: “We must promote leadership that combines strategic vision with human sensitivity; that knows how to manage systems, but also inspire teams; that understands data, but doesn’t forget the value of intuition, empathy, and organizational culture.” He added that “having well-prepared leaders is the best way for us, as a collective, to thrive in a port environment marked by the energy transition, digital transformation, and global challenges.”
This fifth edition of the Leadership School featured the participation of prominent speakers, including Sebastián Ceria , the main shareholder of Real Racing Club de Santander; Jorge Oliveira , former country manager of Solvay Química; Enrique Fernández , director of Talent and Culture at Repsol; and Clara La Calle , general secretary of State Ports.

The president of the Port Authority of Seville (APS) described this year's edition as a "success" due to "the engaging topics covered, the quality of the speakers, and the high level of participation." The opening of the School also included a welcome address by Clara La Calle and Carlos Andradas, rector of the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP).
