Aspiring Directors Programme: info session
Preparing for a first board mandate requires more than executive experience. Aspiring directors need to understand the responsibilities, dynamics and expectations that come with stepping into the boardroom.
This online info session introduces INSEAD’s Aspiring Directors Programme, designed for senior executives and high-potential leaders preparing for their first board mandate.
Led by Stanislav Shekshnia, Senior Affiliate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise at INSEAD, the session will explore what aspiring directors need to consider as they prepare to step into the boardroom and provide an introduction to the programme’s key themes and learning experience.
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, including time to address questions related to the programme and admissions process.

Reimagining Leadership: A Preview of The Challenge of Leadership Programme
Leadership is often defined by results, but the most effective leaders know that lasting impact begins with self-awareness.
Join Graham Ward and Victoria Bouix for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving nature of leadership and the capabilities leaders need to thrive in today's environment. They will share insights into some of the questions at the heart of The Challenge of Leadership programme: How do leaders uncover their blind spots? Why do organisational dynamics often derail change? What makes authority difficult to exercise? And how can greater self-awareness lead to more effective leadership?
Through this interactive session, participants will gain a glimpse into the distinctive learning experience of Challenge of Leadership: a reflective, group-based journey that helps leaders make sense of complex organisational realities, strengthen their leadership practice and develop new perspectives on their professional and personal challenges.
The session will also offer an opportunity to meet the programme team, ask questions and explore whether the Challenge of Leadership is the right next step in your leadership journey.

Whether it was someone managing an oil tanker fleet or working in biosciences, we all wrestled with the same core questions — how do you make sound decisions?
Karen Kaiser
General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, The Associated Press
“It was really lovely to have an opportunity to meet people across all sectors, with so many different areas of expertise and skill sets and interests. During the programme, we were a very supportive group, leveraging our differences to help and challenge each other. And we are all still constantly in touch. We have become a very tight-knit group, and I feel like it’s only the beginning of the different ways that we will support each other.”

Lolly Gwabavu
Group Head: Leadership Development at Nedbank
It is important that as a leader, you can do so in a way where your team will look forward to coming to work each day. The nuances of how this is done change at all the different levels of leadership, from the leader of a business all the way to the CEO of the company.
Jessica Richter
Senior Director, and Head of People & Leadership Development at Infineon
We want leaders to be constantly asking themselves: “Is it really an ambitious target that we are working towards?”, “Is it clear who’s owning what and do we have a clear mandate?”, and “Are we making timely decisions to cater to the demands of the market?”. I believe that all this contributes to shaping their leadership, personality, and how they seek to impact the business target.
