Collective book
Leadership 2050 is a book that invites us to rethink the conventions of traditional management and deeply questions how we lead in a rapidly changing world. Faced with planetary limits, declining engagement, and exhausted leaders, this book proposes moving beyond the model of the solitary, controlling leader to build a more sustainable and collective approach.
Drawing on research and real-world business experience, Leadership 2050 outlines a new vision of leadership based on four pillars: integrating Earth system limits into decision-making, harnessing collective intelligence, encouraging responsible autonomy within teams, and preserving personal energy.

Conference - « Leadership 2050 »: preparing today's managers for tomorrow's leadership », in Paris on April 9, 2026
In a constantly changing world where uncertainty is omnipresent, leaders are facing a deep crisis in the way they exercise leadership. In light of this, four experts in leadership and strategy have come together to redefine the contours of a leadership practice that is better suited to current and future challenges.
Today's and tomorrow's leaders are forced to adapt their practices, sometimes in bold ways, in order to open up new paths for overcoming the challenges that lie ahead. Adopting unique perspectives, the authors combine theories and concrete examples from visionary leaders, powerfully demonstrating that, facing an uncertain future, it is imperative for managers to reinvent their practices and their approach to leadership.
Conference: "Heading leadership 2050! Get ready today for tomorrow’s leadership", in Lyon on March 26, 2026
What if the real risk wasn't the chaos of the world, but our stubbornness in governing it with outdated leadership models?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!
