<p>The Chair will enable HEC to recognize, recruit and retain the world's top scholars in the field of Purposeful Leadership. The endowment will help train the next generation of leaders on this theme and support research by top HEC faculty members. In addition, the Joly Family Endowed Chair will allow HEC Paris to offer an annual fellowship to an exceptional student who has demonstrated a clear interest in this field.</p>
<p>The business school Dean, <span class="xn-person">Peter Todd</span> insists that Purposeful Leadership <i>"</i><i>is a fundamental part of HEC Paris</i><i>'</i><i> mission to shape the leaders of tomorrow who understand that their obligations go beyond the bottom line</i><i> and contribute to the greater good in </i> <i>s</i><i>ociety</i><i>.</i> <i>The creation of this new Chair is a natural extension of the work undertaken by the S</i><i>n</i><i>O Center</i><i> in the past decade.</i><i> </i> <i>I am delighted to announce that the first holder of the Joly </i> <i>Family </i> <i>Endowed Chair in </i> <i>Purposeful </i> <i>Leadership is Professor <span class="xn-person">Rodolphe Durand</span>. Rodolphe is </i> <i>one of </i> <i>our most accomplished researcher</i><i>s</i><i> in business strategy, an influential scholar and a leader in thinking </i> <i>of the ways</i><i> values are integrated into the DNA of organizations and incarnated in their strategy.</i><i>"</i></p>
<p><span class="xn-person">Hubert Joly</span> declares: <i>"</i><i>I believe that </i> <i>the search for meaning </i> <i>is a</i><i>n essential quest </i> <i>for </i> <i>each</i><i> individual. </i> <i>I </i> <i>further </i> <i>believe</i><i> </i> <i>that </i> <i>a</i><i> </i> <i>company</i><i> is a human organization where individuals coll</i><i>aborate on a project</i><i>, and </i> <i>that linking </i> <i>t</i><i>he </i> <i>search for meaning of </i> <i>a company</i><i>'</i><i>s team members with the </i> <i>purpose </i> <i>of</i><i> the company</i><i> </i> <i>is a </i> <i>key priority</i><i> for </i> <i>a company</i><i> and the individuals who work there.</i><i> Finally,</i><i> I </i> <i>believe </i> <i>that </i> <i>a company</i><i>'</i><i>s purpose </i> <i>must contribute to </i> <i>society</i><i>'</i><i>s</i><i> common good. </i> <i>For all these reasons, </i> <i>through the creation of</i><i> this Chair, I </i> <i>am very happy to support</i><i> HEC</i><i>'</i><i>s professors and their teams </i> <i>as they work to </i> <i>advance </i> <i>research and teaching </i> <i>o</i><i>n</i><i> </i> <i>the theme of Purposeful Leadership in business.</i><i>"</i></p>
<p>The first key questions guiding the <i>Purposeful Leadership</i> program are:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Why do we work? What is the purpose of a company or an organization?</li>
<li>How can we find meaning in our work? Is a noble purpose solely in the realm of philanthropy or Corporate Social Responsibility, or can we make this the core focus of a company and all its activities?</li>
<li>What principles and practices can guide the actions of today's leaders?</li>
<li>How can we create an environment in which individual members of an organization can be themselves and blossom personally and professionally?</li>
<li>Can Purposeful Leadership result in superior business and financial performance?</li>

<p>The Chair will enable HEC to recognize, recruit and retain the world's top scholars in the field of Purposeful Leadership. The endowment will help train the next generation of leaders on this theme and support research by top HEC faculty members. In addition, the Joly Family Endowed Chair will allow HEC Paris to offer an annual fellowship to an exceptional student who has demonstrated a clear interest in this field.</p>
<p>The business school Dean, <span class="xn-person">Peter Todd</span> insists that Purposeful Leadership <i>"</i><i>is a fundamental part of HEC Paris</i><i>'</i><i> mission to shape the leaders of tomorrow who understand that their obligations go beyond the bottom line</i><i> and contribute to the greater good in </i> <i>s</i><i>ociety</i><i>.</i> <i>The creation of this new Chair is a natural extension of the work undertaken by the S</i><i>n</i><i>O Center</i><i> in the past decade.</i><i> </i> <i>I am delighted to announce that the first holder of the Joly </i> <i>Family </i> <i>Endowed Chair in </i> <i>Purposeful </i> <i>Leadership is Professor <span class="xn-person">Rodolphe Durand</span>. Rodolphe is </i> <i>one of </i> <i>our most accomplished researcher</i><i>s</i><i> in business strategy, an influential scholar and a leader in thinking </i> <i>of the ways</i><i> values are integrated into the DNA of organizations and incarnated in their strategy.</i><i>"</i></p>
<p><span class="xn-person">Hubert Joly</span> declares: <i>"</i><i>I believe that </i> <i>the search for meaning </i> <i>is a</i><i>n essential quest </i> <i>for </i> <i>each</i><i> individual. </i> <i>I </i> <i>further </i> <i>believe</i><i> </i> <i>that </i> <i>a</i><i> </i> <i>company</i><i> is a human organization where individuals coll</i><i>aborate on a project</i><i>, and </i> <i>that linking </i> <i>t</i><i>he </i> <i>search for meaning of </i> <i>a company</i><i>'</i><i>s team members with the </i> <i>purpose </i> <i>of</i><i> the company</i><i> </i> <i>is a </i> <i>key priority</i><i> for </i> <i>a company</i><i> and the individuals who work there.</i><i> Finally,</i><i> I </i> <i>believe </i> <i>that </i> <i>a company</i><i>'</i><i>s purpose </i> <i>must contribute to </i> <i>society</i><i>'</i><i>s</i><i> common good. </i> <i>For all these reasons, </i> <i>through the creation of</i><i> this Chair, I </i> <i>am very happy to support</i><i> HEC</i><i>'</i><i>s professors and their teams </i> <i>as they work to </i> <i>advance </i> <i>research and teaching </i> <i>o</i><i>n</i><i> </i> <i>the theme of Purposeful Leadership in business.</i><i>"</i></p>
<p>The first key questions guiding the <i>Purposeful Leadership</i> program are:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Why do we work? What is the purpose of a company or an organization?</li>
<li>How can we find meaning in our work? Is a noble purpose solely in the realm of philanthropy or Corporate Social Responsibility, or can we make this the core focus of a company and all its activities?</li>
<li>What principles and practices can guide the actions of today's leaders?</li>
<li>How can we create an environment in which individual members of an organization can be themselves and blossom personally and professionally?</li>
<li>Can Purposeful Leadership result in superior business and financial performance?</li>
