At the INSEAD Executive Coaching, we believe that effective leaders contribute to the creation of sustainable organisations that are great places to work. Our outlook is that the ways leaders deal with their people and the type of organisational culture they create, are the real and enduring sources of competitive advantage.

Our mission is to develop reflective leaders who create results-driven, adaptive and innovative organisations by putting people first.

We deliver 200+ leadership development programmes or modules per year at Degree and Executive Education levels. Every session is guided by our philosophy of closely integrating spaces for action and spaces for reflection to achieve the maximum impact. We work across all three INSEAD campuses: Fontainebleau, Singapore and Abu Dhabi. INSEAD Executive Coaching faculty and coaches also travel throughout the world to deliver company-specific learning. In addition, we offer follow-up sessions remotely using a variety of technologies from simple phone calls to customised social media and webinar platforms.

Virtual Executive Coaching

 
Develop self-awareness and personal insight for more effective leadership in times of crisis.

As the impact of Covid-19 continues to have far reaching implications on society and business, organisations need reflective leaders who can act swiftly and decisively without losing the bigger picture. In times of chaos and turbulence the pressure to deliver and make the final call can however be challenging. It is during these times that crafting space for reflexion, developing self-awareness and exploring biases is key. Now, more than ever, coaching leaders has become more crucial.

INSEAD's new on-demand Virtual Executive Coaching offers four one-to-one sessions with one of our highly experienced coaches - supporting you through the crisis and providing you with the tools and insights to become a better and more reflective leader.

Our methodology

 

Leadership development sessions

These include group and/or individual coaching – with a practice-focused perspective. Among the services we offer are: experiential learning and leadership simulations; action learning and project support; outdoor group dynamics; fully facilitated indoor group work; and traditional classroom sessions and case study analysis.

Group coaching

This powerful technique was pioneered at INSEAD and our deep expertise in this approach remains our specialty. It involves a group of 5 to 6 participants working with a highly trained coach who understands and makes sense of their current situation. Through various exercises, participants develop a deep insight into each other’s personal and professional situations, analysing the results of the 360-degree exercises and giving each other direct and personal feedback. Participants are often surprised by the personal impact this process has on them. At the end of the session, each participant develops their own personal development plan.

Leadership In Action

Participants have a chance to express themselves in a group context, reflect on their behaviour and its consequences, and experiment with different strategies and actions. The coaching groups experience various situations that require setting a strategy, aligning objectives, planning, distributing roles, controlling processes and execution. The groups result and the behaviour of individuals within the group will be examined after each exercise.
Participants learn much about each other and themselves in a real life situation. The process is facilitated by the coach, who sets up structured, honest, fair and non-judgemental feedback.

 

Our instruments and tools

We design and implement innovative assessment instruments and simulations – all based on our own research – to measure and build skills, personality and culture. We combine these with coaching for maximum impact.

The xChange Simulation

The xChange Simulation is a powerful computer based learning tool that helps leaders at all levels ask: how do you exercise leadership in a rapidly changing world?

Hear why it’s an integral part of Executive Education programmes at INSEAD.

 

Feedback instruments

INSEAD has used its research expertise to create and continually update its instruments that are used to understand current performance. These tools help managers to explore the gap between the way they see themselves and the way they are seen by others. Participants, colleagues and even family members are asked to complete detailed surveys, which our coaches are trained to analyse and interpret.

The results lead to the creation of the individual development plan. INSEAD's feedback instruments include the following:
