Lead Campus – Impact of business and leadership models in Africa

HEC Paris

Leadership

About Programme

Environmental changes (climate change, biodiversity loss, exponential pressures on resources such as metals), and social changes (increasing inequalities), both globally and in Africa, are such that managing businesses responsibly is a prerequisite and a condition for long-term survival. However, it is urgent to go further: it is about profoundly transforming existing businesses and their economic models to create a positive impact, or creating businesses from the outset whose goal is to solve problems. Such transformations require transformational leadership from leaders and managers.
