Leadership Unlocked: Changing ingrained behaviours

Finance is a domain where context is critical, and human judgment remains essential even with the growing adoption of AI. To collaborate effectively with finance stakeholders, non-finance professionals should build a working understanding of key areas within finance, such as financial statements, budgeting and forecasting, cost structures, and performance metrics, so they can engage in more informed discussions and make better-aligned decisions.

The infosession will provide you with a preview of the programme with the faculty. If you have any questions about the INSEAD experience and how the programme can help your career, please feel free to ask us during the session.

Leaders face a continuous barrage of prescriptions – books, talks and programmes urge them to develop visions, listen to their teams, stay the course in hard times, and communicate. Most leaders know this. Few report that this ‘knowledge’ solves their problems.

INSEAD’s Leadership Excellence through Awareness and Practice (LEAP) programme is designed to help senior leaders bridge this gap.

This six-month journey, including three residential modules with individual and group work, focuses less on telling leaders what to do differently; instead, it enables them to explore how they can be different, to the benefit of themselves, their teams, and their organisations. A central focus of the programme is supporting participants in shifting behaviours in areas that will provide the greatest leverage for their leadership impact.

During the session, Narayan Pant, Programme Director, will share insights into the LEAP experience, its learning approach, and the transformational outcomes participants can expect. Pamela Heo, Programme Advisor, will be able to answer any questions you may have about the programme, as well as the application and admissions process.

Professionals today are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape as AI reshapes not only how work is done, but what work is. INSEAD’s Human Capital in the Age of AI programme explores how organisations can adapt by combining human capabilities with algorithmic intelligence to stay competitive.

The programme equips senior leaders with practical frameworks and research to redesign organisations for the augmented workforce—enhancing performance while attracting and retaining top talent.

During the session, Phanish Puranam, Programme Director, will share key insights into the programme and its implications for leadership and organisational design. Anita Jiang, Associate Director in Recruitement and Business Development, will also be here to answer any questions about the programme and the application process.
