Today, Xavier Regnaut, partner at VICONTI Partners, welcomes Jérôme Mandin, CEO of Pegasus Leadership.

Jérôme Mandin: a leader forged in action

Forty years ago, Jérôme Mandin joined the French Navy, driven by a thirst for adventure and excellence.

Very quickly, he specialized in marine commandos, a demanding universe where performance and resilience are essential.

After twenty years of missions, he embarked on a new entrepreneurial adventure and founded Pegasus Leadership, with former comrades sharing the same beliefs.

Pegasus Leadership: Unlocking the Potential of Leaders Through Experience

Since its creation, Pegasus Leadership has been built around strong values from special forces:

• The power of the collective: “We are only valuable through others.”
• Leadership rooted in authenticity: Accepting and using weaknesses to progress.
• The importance of the field: Experiment to better learn and evolve.

Their objective is to get managers and their teams to question their practices, to confront the unknown and to develop sustainable performance.

VISCONTI & Pegasus: a natural alliance at the service of managers

The DNA of VISCONTI Partners, based on a collective of executive coaches with complementary experiences, resonates strongly with that of Pegasus Leadership.

Pegasus offers immersive experiences to challenge teams in an unstructured environment, far from their professional bearings.

Their campus in Brittany, located in a former submarine base, allows managers and teams to experience intense and revealing situations.

They conduct nearly 100 programs per year, divided between team support and talent development.

However, a few days of immersion are not enough to sustainably anchor a transformation. This is where VISCONTI Partners comes in.

If Pegasus creates founding events, accelerators of trust and awareness, VISCONTI then supports managers and their teams over the long term, by capitalizing on lessons learned to generate concrete progress and performance gains.

Indeed, to develop their performance, you must be supported over time, on small adjustments that will allow the team to be a step above the others at all times.

A few words about the Pegasus experience.

Indeed, VISCONTI Partners has already collaborated with Pegasus and it is very clear that there is a complementarity between executive coaching and the internship of a few days offered by Pegasus.

The Pegasus approach is based on the observation of behaviors in real situations. (They keep maximum confidentiality on their programs so that people are as spontaneous as possible)

Two major axes are explored:

1. The working method: How to structure collective intelligence to maximize performance?
2. The mental preparation of the manager and his teams: How to manage discomforts and uncertainties in the face of challenges?

In this spirit, participants are immersed in a maritime and military environment, totally disconnected from their usual universe.

This immersion makes it possible to reveal natural behaviors, without filters or professional masks.

It is the planning — action — feedback method.

But in planning there is the analysis of the non-conforming case, an extremely strong subject at Pegasus as well as at VISCONTI.

In his military experience, Jérôme Mandin learned that the expectation of non-compliant cases is essential to decision-making.

This mindset, which is crucial in special forces, is just as relevant for leaders.

VISCONTI Partners shares this approach: identifying potential obstacles in order to better prepare for them and gain confidence once in the field.

Every company has a culture of anticipating risk and this is not a problem, but refusing to think about it is.

A collaboration focused on the future

Pegasus's mission remains the same: to enable leaders and their teams to reveal their full potential. As long as there is fun in adapting to everyone and helping, the objective will be fulfilled.

But today, this vision is taking on a new dimension thanks to the alliance with VISCONTI Partners.

The objective? Combining immersion, awareness and long-term strategic support, to offer a manager, a team, and even HR managers a unique and comprehensive approach to leadership and collective performance.

A new force of intervention for companies that want to go beyond their limits and sustainably transform their organization.
