Currently on leave of absence at IMD International in Lausanne, where he is Professor of Leadership and Organizational Development.
Initially trained as a chartered accountant, Professor Manzoni worked as an auditor and consultant with Ernst and Young before receiving an M.B.A. from McGill University (Canada) and a D.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
His research, teaching and consulting activities are focused on the management of change at the individual and organizational levels.
At the organizational level, Professor Manzoni studies the content of change (including the use of levers such as strategy, structure and systems), the management of the change process and the role of leaders therein. His work in this area has appeared in a number of articles and books, including Process Re-engineering, Organizational Change and Performance Improvement (McGraw Hill, with Soumitra Dutta) and Performance Measurement and Management Control: Superior Organizational Performance (Elsevier Science/JAI Press, with Marc Epstein). He has written over twenty cases, two of which received EFMD Case of the Year Awards in change management categories. He also acted as content expert in the development of a groundbreaking computer-based change management simulation, the Change Pro Simulation®.
At the individual level, Professor Manzoni studies how leaders can create a high performance climate by supporting learning and encouraging autonomy, and what they can do to modify their leadership style in that direction. This stream of research has led to several articles and a book entitled The Set-Up To Fail Syndrome: How good managers cause great people to fail (Harvard Business School Press, with Jean-Louis Barsoux). This book, which built on Manzoni and Barsoux's initial Harvard Business Review article introducing the term "set-up-to-fail syndrome", has received Book of the Year Awards from HR.com and from the Society for Human Resource Management. Another book exploring the set-up-to-fail syndrome in other interpersonal and organizational settings is in progress.
On the institutional front, Professor Manzoni founded and directed for three years the INSEAD-PwC Research Initiative on High Performance Organizations. This Initiative was funded by a ¬5 million grant from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the largest ever corporate donation received by the school.
The recipient of several awards for excellence in teaching, Professor Manzoni is a frequent keynote speaker at conferences on leadership and change, and performs coaching, training and consulting work for several large international organizations. |
