Gianpiero Petriglieri is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD and an expert on leadership and learning in the workplace. He holds the INSEAD Alumni Professorship in Leadership and Development, and serves as the Academic Director of the INSEAD Initiative for Learning Innovation and Teaching Excellence.
Gianpiero's award-winning research and teaching focus on what it means, and what it takes, to become a leader. He focuses on the development and practice of leadership in the age of "nomadic professionalism", an age in which people have deep bonds to work but loose affiliations to organisations, and authenticity and mobility have replaced loyalty and advancement as hallmarks of virtue and success. Leaders, in this context, are expected be grounded as well as flexible, sustainable as well as effective, purposeful as well as portable. The intent of Gianpiero's work is to humanise leadership, that is, to account for those tensions in the study and development of leadership, and to help both foster more integration and less fragmentation, more pluralism and less polarisation, within and between people.
Gianpiero's research has appeared in leading academic journals such as the Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Learning & Education, Human Relations, Organization Studies, and Organization Theory. He also writes essays regularly for the Harvard Business Review and Sloan Management Review. His work has been featured in a range of media including the BBC, Financial Times, The Economist, The Guardian, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Le Figaro, El Pais, and he is listed among the 50 most influential management thinkers in the world by Thinkers50 .
Building on this research, Gianpiero has refined a unique approach to developing the art of leading. This approach helps people and groups clarify their leadership intent, commit to it, and forge relationships that sustain it. Gianpiero works with multinationals in a variety of industries to bring this approach to life in bespoke experiential learning initiatives, usually tied to a strategic effort to transform the organisation. He also speaks widely at management conferences and corporate gatherings on the value of humanising leadership in the workplace and beyond.
In the INSEAD MBA, Gianpiero teaches the core course "Ethics: Lead for Good," for which he has received the Aspen Institute "Ideas Worth Teaching" award. Prior to that, he taught the "Leading People and Groups" core course. He has received the students' Outstanding Teacher Award for both courses and earned numerous Dean's Commendations for Teaching Excellence in MBA and Executive Education, as well as for mentoring and collegiality. His executive programmes have received industry-wide awards for excellence and innovation. He has also earned the Dominique Hèau Award for Inspiring Educational Excellence, a recognition for faculty whose body of work has strengthened INSEAD's institutional fabric and community.
A Medical Doctor and Psychiatrist by training, Gianpiero has worked as an executive coach, practiced as a psychotherapist, and served on the staff of group relations conferences in Europe and the United States. He has held Visiting Professor positions at the Harvard Business School and at the Copenhagen Business School.

Winnie Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. Her research topics include the dynamics of meaning-making at work, work as a calling, career mobility and transitions, and personal and professional development.
Winnie’s research centers on how individuals find and sustain meaning in their work—particularly amid disruption, transition, and technological change. Her current research investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated into individuals’ work lives in ways that cultivate, rather than erode, meaningfulness—and how organizations can design structures and practices to support this process. Across qualitative and quantitative studies, she explores how humans and intelligent technologies can co-develop systems of work that preserve human agency, dignity, and purpose.
Winnie’s broader research spans three interrelated streams: how individuals make meaning of and about their work; how they navigate mobility and achieve self-transformation through their careers; and how meaning can be constructed and sustained in the age of AI and digital transformation. Her work has been published in leading journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, and Organization Science.
Prior to joining INSEAD, Winnie completed her PhD in Management at Yale University.
