Moments of Truth

Perceptions of leadership have long been rooted in public personas and an inadequate understanding of strength and confidence. In this series, senior executives open up about some trials and tribulations they have faced, and how these experiences shaped them as individuals and business leaders today. Their stories are sources of nourishment and courage, and inspire us to build supportive communities that allow leaders to embrace their vulnerability and develop it as a source of strength.

Negative Capability - a Powerful Tool to Navigate Ambiguity

Last year, my EMC peers and I delivered two sessions for our INSEAD alumni community where we explored the concept of negative capability.  This idea was introduced by John Keats in 1817. He described it as a state in which a person is ‘capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason’. It is a relevant and powerful skill - especially in a current context.

Rethinking Leadership: The Virtues of Imperfection

Is it time to reassess what good leadership means, and to redefine a few of its attributes? Leadership is an intangible.

Mental Health Awareness is a Leadership Skill

Mental health awareness is something that many executives overlook, but it’s actually a vital leadership skill that is necessary for the long-term success of any organisation. As a leader, it’s critical that you have an intimate understanding of your team and an overall sensitivity to their well-being. A team cannot work together effectively if any of the team members are struggling with personal challenges that seep into their work-life without receiving any support.

The Quest for Happiness at Work

You’ve heard the saying that money can’t buy happiness? Well, that’s not exactly true. Money can buy happiness—but only to a certain point. Once you make enough to support yourself without feeling anxious about paying for essential needs (groceries, housing, medical bills), then the positive effects start to taper off. “In spite of all their accomplishments and material possessions, [the super-rich] remain bored and deeply unfulfilled,” says Manfred Kets De Vries, a Professor at INSEAD business school.

3 Important Characteristics of a Change Agent

Our prehistoric ancestors shared the planet with at least three species of early humans. Over time, as modern humans spread around the world, the other three species became extinct. We became the sole survivors in the human family tree. The key that led to our success was our ability to adapt to the changes and challenges presented in our daily life.
