Contemporary organisations are beginning to recognise the importance of balancing instrumental imperatives – getting stuff done efficiently – with humanistic aspirations – helping people grow and connect across differences. But that is, unfortunately, not yet the way leaders are raised and trained. So how are we to change that? How can we develop and become leaders who can foster that balance? As part of our #Limitless: Ambition Has No Gender campaign, we are bringing you this thought leadership webinar with Professor Jennifer Petriglieri. She argues that one way to do so is through a deeper engagement with works of art in general, and literature in particular and will bring examples of how such works can help leaders recognise, honour, demonstrate, and foster humanity at work.

We are pleased to celebrate Claude Perol MBA’82 as our INSEADer of the Month. His dedication to lifelong learning, mentorship, and alumni engagement exemplifies the spirit of INSEAD.  With over three decades of leadership in the global pharmaceutical industry, Claude Perol has left an indelible mark on the sector. From pioneering the Hepatitis B vaccine joint venture in Taiwan to holding key executive roles at Sanofi - including VP of Central & Eastern Europe and Commercial VP in the USA - his career has been defined by strategic vision and a commitment to excellence. In 2017, after retiring from Sanofi, Claude launched his own consulting boutique, where he shared his expertise with the industry.  Claude’s impact extends far beyond the corporate world. A passionate INSEAD alumnus, he has dedicated himself to giving back to the INSEAD community in multiple ways. As Deputy Director of the INSEAD Alumni Association France (IAAF), he played a crucial role in shaping alumni initiatives and served as secretary of the board and ExCo member. In his role as VP of Career Development, Claude led efforts to support alumni in their professional growth - whether it was navigating career transitions, exploring new industries, or seeking executive opportunities. Through mentoring, networking events, and tailored career resources, he has helped countless alumni advance their careers.  Claude is also a committed donor, contributing significantly to the French scholarship fund, ensuring that future generations of talented students have the opportunity to benefit from an INSEAD education. Additionally, he actively fosters alumni connections by organizing class reunions, strengthening the bonds within the INSEAD community. #IOTM #INSEADAlumni #INSEADforGood #Leadership
