Our Latest Stories

As organisations rush to adopt AI, many teams hesitate, stuck between opportunity and uncertainty. Our second Lunch & Lead webinar explored the real challenges — from onboarding AI like employees to shifting from volume- to value-based contracts. The key takeaway? Empowerment beats fear when people feel safe to experiment, question assumptions, and co-design how work gets done.
Pictet Asset Management is redefining how long-standing Swiss values meet modern innovation. From scaling AI solutions to fostering a culture of experimentation, Laurent Gaye shares how the firm stays future-ready and why leadership and culture are key to transformation. Join us at LEAD26 to hear these insights in person.
Insights from our recent webinar. Growth comes through discomfort and reflection. Leaders must face limiting beliefs and guide teams through change. Empowerment thrives when every employee is equipped, coached, and encouraged to take responsibility, not just those in formal leadership roles.
At Lead26, feedback goes beyond applause. In an interview, Luca from Miles & More reflects how candid feedback, cross-industry insights, and interactive discussions helped him see new perspectives, sharpen his leadership, and recognise that what feels routine in one organisation can be groundbreaking for another.
