Gianpiero Petriglieri

A psychiatrist by training, Gianpiero is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. His award-winning research and teaching focus on what it means, and what it takes, to become a leader.

He is particularly concerned with leadership and learning in the age of “nomadic professionalism,” in which people have deep bonds to work but loose affiliations to organizations, and authenticity and mobility have replaced loyalty and advancement as hallmarks of virtue and success.

Gianpiero’s research has appeared in top academic journals and his work is frequently featured in the media. He writes regularly for the Harvard Business Review, where his essays have been included among the “ideas that shaped management” for four of the past five years.

Building on his research, Gianpiero has contributed to crafting a unique approach to leadership development. At INSEAD, he directs the Management Acceleration Programme, the school’s flagship executive programme for emerging leaders, as well as customized leadership programmes for multinationals in a variety of industries. He has also chaired the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on new models of leadership, and speaks widely on leadership and talent development.
