100 INSEAD Alumni - Building Leadership Through Career Transitions | Online
Note: This session will be conducted in Chinese.
From Functional Leader to China President: Building Leadership Through Career Transitions
主题：从专业经理人到中国区总裁：如何完成领导力跃迁 （注：此活动将以中文进行）
Many professionals aspire to move into leadership. Yet the journey from functional expert to enterprise leader is rarely a straight line. As responsibilities evolve, the skills that once brought success may no longer be enough, and every career transition presents a new set of challenges.
In this episode of the 100 INSEAD Alumni Series, we are delighted to welcome Fang Fang (MBA'08), President of Sonova China. With leadership experience spanning IBM, Johnson & Johnson and Sonova, Fang has navigated multiple career transitions across functions, businesses and industries before taking on full P&L responsibility for a global company's China operations.
Together, we will explore three pivotal leadership transitions:
- From building personal credibility to creating impact — What does it really take to stand out and earn opportunities early in your career?
- From managing yourself to leading others — How do leadership priorities change when success depends on enabling an entire team rather than individual performance?
- From delivering results to shaping the future — What distinguishes leaders who can anticipate change, build resilient organizations and create long-term competitive advantage?
Join us for an inspiring conversation on leadership, career transitions, and the capabilities required to grow from a functional leader into an enterprise leader in today's rapidly changing world.
