Kontynuujemy nasz cykl #JestemzZarządzania, dziś przed Państwem – dr Yasmin Ziaeian z Katedry Organizacji i Zarządzania. Tym razem tekst jest w języku angielskim, ponieważ nim na co dzień posługuje się nasza bohaterka.

Who I Am

I’m an Assistant Professor at the Department of Management, Wrocław University of Science and Technology. My academic journey began in Iran and continued in Switzerland, where I had the opportunity to experience diverse educational cultures. I joined the Faculty with a background that bridges both academia and business, and I’m passionate about building connections between the two.

What I Teach

I teach subjects such as Organizational Behaviour, Negotiation and Mediation, Soft Skills for Engineers, Civil and Commercial Law, and Social Sciences in Management. I love using interactive formats like storytelling, role-plays, simulations, and mini-research projects — I believe students should feel the subject, not just learn it.

My Background

Before joining academia, I worked for over 15 years in international business, where I specialized in Agile management, leadership development, and communication. I hold certifications as a Scrum Master and in Professional Agile Leadership (PAL I). I’m deeply interested in integrating agile methods with human-centered strategies and innovation.

My Research Interests

My current research focuses on strategic management, AI in decision-making, and value-driven leadership inspired by Persian wisdom. I’m working on several articles, one of which explores “Science Management” .

Beyond Academia

I’m also a certified group fitness instructor and train professionally in my free time. I believe physical and mental strength go hand in hand. I speak several languages, love learning new ones (currently studying Polish!), and recently published a book titled The Golden Eagle Entrepreneur, which blends nature’s wisdom with entrepreneurship and innovation.

Why Poland?

Poland drew me in with its blend of history, opportunity, and intellectual curiosity. Wrocław felt like the perfect place to combine my passion for teaching, research, and cross-cultural collaboration. I’m proud to contribute to a faculty that values both academic excellence and human connection.
