Relational Leadership
Transforming collective performance through relational leadership.
Organizations perform best when people choose to act together, not merely comply. I help leaders create the conditions for that: people who think for themselves, information that flows across silos, and communities that want to work together. In every kind of change, including the AI transition.
— Céline Schillinger, founder of We Need Social, author of Dare to Un-Lead
Why Leaders trust this approach
Tested at scale. Over 17 years at Sanofi, I built volunteer networks that mobilized thousands of people to improve culture, quality and change, an approach recognized when France made me a Knight of the National Order of Merit (2017).
Recognized thinking. Dare to Un-Lead was named Porchlight's 2022 Leadership & Strategy Book of the Year and one of Thinkers50's Best New Management Books of 2023.
Trusted worldwide. Since 2018, more than 30 organizations, including Lufthansa Cargo, Bayer, Google and the European Commission, have worked with me to mobilize their people. And for ten consecutive years, I've been named a Global Employee Engagement & Experience Influencer.
Where to Start
The Book
Dare to Un-Lead shows why leadership must become a collective capacity, built on liberty, equality and fraternity. Award-winning, practical, and rooted in field experience.
Work With Me
Keynotes, leadership programs, network activation and the Community Studio, designed with you to mobilize your people around what matters. Every engagement is co-created with your teams.
Leading the AI Transition

Let's mobilize your people together. Tell me about the change you're leading.
Relational Leadership
Why?
In my corporate life, I have often struggled with traditional leadership and poor engagement
We can do so much better
Segmented and hierarchical, aimed at passive audiences, the common “push” approaches do not deliver as they used to
It’s time for Relational Leadership
