program will be a platform to groom aspiring leaders to be world class
corporate leaders in the future.
The complexities of today’s organizations mean that no one individual
can get much accomplished by themselves. Most challenges and
opportunities are systemic. Leadership is distributed and change now
requires a collective sense and a coordinated set of actions.
Leadership is exercised within a team or broader organizational
context - whether it be a project team, intact leadership team, or a
cross-functional team. It is all about leading together - and that’s the
way work gets done and change happens - this is why leadership
development is essential if businesses are to succeed in today’s
competitive world. Dr Mannarelli, who holds a PhD from the Haas School
of Business at the University of California, Berkley and a B.S. in
Business Administration the Indiana University, is a specialist in
issues related to creativity, innovation and leadership in organisations.
He is backed with an impressive portfolio having provided his
consulting services to top notch globally recognised organisations in
the likes of Standard Chartered Bank, Glaxo-Smith Kline, Shell, Nissan,
ABN-AMRO, Philip Morris, Visa, Singtel, Adidas, IBM and the Chartered
Accountants of Ireland.
INSEAD’s business education and research spans three continents. Its
145 renowned Faculty members from 36 countries inspire more than 1,000
participants in MBA, Executive MBA and PhD programs, and also executives
exceeding 9,500 who participate in INSEAD’s executive education
