In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Gianpiero Petriglieri, one of the world’s leading voices in leadership development. A professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD, Gianpiero’s work bridges psychology, management, and education. Trained first as a medical doctor and psychiatrist in Italy, he later reinvented himself as a leadership scholar and educator. His unique journey brings a rare depth to his teaching and research, which focus on how we lead, how we learn, and—most importantly—how we stay human in times of constant change. We explore together: - His childhood influences and formative years in Sicily.
- The lessons he carried from psychiatry into leadership education.
- Why he believes leadership is not just about skills, but about “the inner work” of becoming yourself—on purpose.
- How bravery, humility, and emotional courage are reshaping leadership today.
- Why he describes leadership as “a kind of love”, and what that means for organizations navigating uncertainty and reinvention.
Gianpiero’s voice is poetic, deeply human, and a powerful reminder that leadership is not about perfection or performance—but about presence, purpose, and connection. |
