Leading Through Uncertainty: Leadership and Resilience in Practice
Leadership is not truly tested in moments of stability, but in times of uncertainty and change.
Join us for an intimate panel discussion featuring distinguished INSEAD alumni as they share real‑world leadership experiences shaped by uncertainty, transition, and growth. Moderated by Professor Mark Mortensen, the Associate Dean for the Middle East Campus and Professor of Organizational Behavior.
The conversation will offer an honest and insightful perspective on what it means to lead with resilience in practice.
Drawing on personal journeys and lessons learned across the region, panelists will explore how leaders remain grounded, support and motivate their teams, and make thoughtful decisions in complex and evolving environments.
The discussion will also reflect on INSEAD’s approach to leadership development, and how it cultivates self‑aware, adaptable leaders capable of navigating uncertainty across industries, cultures, and career stages.
Attendees will leave with practical insights, candid reflections, and renewed perspectives on leading through change.

100 INSEAD Alumni - Career Growth Beyond the First Job | Online
Note: This session will be conducted in Chinese.
In today’s evolving job market, shaped by technological disruption, shifting talent demands, and increasing career mobility, many professionals are reflecting on how to build sustainable, long-term careers.
At INSEAD, we recognise that while short-term outcomes often draw focus, it is long-term career growth, particularly how individuals evolve, adapt, and lead over time, that ultimately defines lasting impact. With this in mind, INSEAD is launching the 100 INSEAD Alumni series, bringing together accomplished alumni across industries, geographies, and career stages to share their experiences and perspectives on how careers develop, and the role that formative experiences, including global education, can play in supporting sustained growth.
In this inaugural session, we are pleased to welcome Jason Jia, Global Partner at Egon Zehnder and an INSEAD MBA alumnus from the Class of 2004, alongside Jennifer Luo from INSEAD. Together, they will reflect on how careers evolve beyond the early stages, what differentiates sustained professional growth, and how experiences such as a global MBA or Master’s programme may contribute to long-term career development.
