IE Masterclass in Tokyo with Professor Carlos Pallero: Leadership Excellence and the ABCDE Framework

What Does Effective Leadership Look Like in a Changing World?

Leadership today is rarely about having all the answers. It is about knowing how to respond when circumstances, people, expectations, and technologies change.

In this masterclass, Professor Carlos Pallero explores what it takes to lead effectively in an environment where traditional leadership approaches are no longer enough. Through the ABCDE framework, participants will examine five dimensions of leadership that shape how leaders build trust, influence others, communicate with impact, navigate digital transformation, and respond to the human side of leadership. Furthermore, this framework will enable leaders to develop the flexibility to recognize different situations and respond with greater awareness and purpose.

The session will move beyond leadership theory to focus on the behaviors that make leadership visible in practice. Whether you are an established executive, an emerging leader, an entrepreneur, or a professional preparing for your next leadership challenge, this session offers an opportunity to step back from day-to-day responsibilities and examine how you lead, how others experience your leadership, and what you can do differently.
