Turningpoint was born out of research on leadership transitions in Europe. The Turningpoint team has maintained this spirit of research and constant innovation in regards to both content development and teaching methods.

Since the foundation of Turningpoint in 1999, research has played a central role; the initial research project on leadership was developed in collaboration with Ashridge University in London and HEC Paris. Since 2012, Turningpoint has established a research partnership with EMLyon on Executive Leadership. Our leadership development, executive coaching and transformation programs have served as a basis for research for two successive PhD students. The first topic was the logic of “Leader Engagement”, followed by “Leader Vulnerabilities”.
The Systemic approach
Gelstalt
Appreciative Inquiry
Drawing upon Turningpoint research into leadership transitions started in 1999, and in collaboration with Ashridge University and HEC Paris, Bridget Farrands and Richard Elsner identified polarizing situations – leadership tensions – that can place a new leader in a highly tenuous situation of which he is not always conscious. The research resulted in a book “Leadership Transitions – How business leaders take charge in new roles” (Kogan Page, 2012). The book is based on 4 stories of relative successes and failures.
Research and development
is in our DNA !
Michel Mornet
Turningpoint Co-fonder and Partner
Today a Doctor in Management Science, Benjamin was accompanied by Turningpoint for 7 years (2012-2019) as part of his research on leader engagement. His research demonstrated that the habit of giving, in whatever form, plays a central part in leadership development, both at the level of the leader and his team, as well as the entire organization.
Researcher and PhD student from EM Lyon and Turningpoint partner since 2019, Charles is working on a thesis on vulnerabilities of business leaders. He started his research with a dissertation on vulnerability while completing his Masters degree in Management Science at KEDGE Business School.
