Rytis Komicius is a PhD candidate for a doctoral programme in Management at ISM University of Management and Economics. He holds three Master’s degrees: Master of Arts in Humanities at LCC International University, Master of Business and Management at Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences and Master of Social Work at Vilnius University. Rytis is also currently completing his fourth Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at ISM.
Broadly speaking, his research area focuses on learning and unlearning leadership.

His research is interdisciplinary and covers management, education and psychology. Although the study focuses on educational organizations, its results are expected to be valuable for the management of organizations operating in other economic sectors as well.
