Inflection Point Leadership Series: Strategic Lessons from Real-World Business and Leadership Transformations - Jean-Philippe Bouillé (NEOMA Reims 1987)

At the inflection point, leadership makes the difference.

Inflection Point Leadership Series brings together real-world stories of strategic transformation, drawn from decades of leadership experience in business, government, and international operations. From post-merger integrations to public-sector turnarounds, Jean-Philippe Bouillé explores how clarity, alignment, and people-centric execution unlock value—especially when the pressure is high and the path uncertain.

Each chapter offers a concise case, practical takeaways, and reflections on what it truly means to lead at moments of disruption. Originally shared on LinkedIn and now expanded for this collection, these insights are for executives, investors, entrepreneurs, and public leaders facing the kind of pivotal moments where strategy meets reality.

Whether you're integrating a company, pivoting a business model, or navigating institutional complexity, this book is your guide to turning complexity into clarity—and strategy into impact.
