Conference | Heading leadership 2050! Get ready today for tomorrow’s leadership

What if the real risk wasn't the chaos of the world, but our stubbornness in governing it with outdated leadership models? In an era of planetary limits, massive disengagement, and leaders running out of steam, the model of the controlling, solitary leader mainly produces strategic vacuums, failures... and exhaustion. It is essential to prepare today for the leadership of tomorrow, based on the Earth System, the strength of the collective, the power to act of teams, and the personal ecology of leaders.   

On the occasion of the release of the book “Leadership 2050,” co-authored by Thomas Gauthier, Tessa Melkonian, Thierry Nadisic, and Thierry Picq, the emlyon business school Leadership Institute invites you to an interactive conference to discuss these major issues. Let's set our sights on the leadership of tomorrow, which will be more sustainable, shared, energizing, and fulfilling!
