Leading with a North Star: Former Decathlon CEO Barbara Martin Coppola’s Blueprint for Bold Change

It's a good question. I believe enough people around the world are concerned about what is happening in the planet. So beyond the governments, I think there is the movement on people, consumption, you know, parents and their kids and wanting to build a better world actually for the generations to come.

I believe there are many businesses that are doing the right thing, decarbonizing, investing in materials that are the right ones. I see different business models. I see innovation that is going in the right direction.

Both in IKEA, at Google, at Decathlon, I found many, many people wanting to do the hard work to reinvent the business models and actually decarbonizing, but going even beyond decarbonizing into reinventing business models. So I'm leaning in the side of hope and I'm leaning in the side of having the responsibility as a leader to carry light, carry hope, not just through words, but through actions.

And so what has happened recently within Decathlon, for three years, we've been building the business in a positive growth trajectory while at the same time, having minus 13% on CO2 emissions over the last years. It is possible. The question is, how are we going to be scaling this? And especially, how are we not going to fall into cynicism and negativity? Because this is not the moment to do that.

On the contrary, It's the moment to actually bring light, hope, and actions because many people around the world want this. And so I believe in the power of many people moving.

I deeply believe in the role of education more than ever. The way we educate might be changing, but the role of education continues to be as important as ever. We can learn the skills or the theory, if you will, as well, in different ways. But I think it's really important to put it into action as soon as we can. So learning a new concept, we can learn in different ways. But how do we apply it?

How do we apply it through case studies, through group work, through internships? And so getting actually this hands-on experience, I think, is really important. And that's what I see in institutions such as INSEAD. There is also another role of education, which is to learn to manage, lead people through difference.
