On the occasion of the release of his book “Choisir un chef, les secrets du leadership à travers l’histoire” (“Choosing a Leader: The Secrets of Leadership through History”), Jean-Pierre Raffarin, President of the “Leaders for Peace” Foundation and Prime Minister from 2002 to 2005, gave a special lecture on the Reims campus.

He shared with the students an analysis of the use of power and leadership at the national and international levels, across the ages and civilisations. Addressing both those who want to be a “leader” and those who will choose one, this conference contributed to the better understanding of the exercise of power and the mechanisms of leadership.
