Faculty
Roxana BARBULESCU
Affiliate Professor, HEC Paris
Leading change means asking people to let go of the familiar and embrace new ways. The process starts with ourselves—challenging our own assumptions. But it comes alive with others, when we create the conditions for change to take root and flourish.
Mathis SCHULTE
Associate Professor, HEC Paris
Change leadership isn’t about charisma or control. It’s about making space — for reflection, for dissent, for questioning what once felt certain. If that sounds uncomfortable, good. That’s where transformation begins.
