The Antifragile Code: Building High-Performing Cultures That Endure
Brought to you by Synthosys co-founders: Dr Tarek Jomaa and Dr Vanessa Pozzali
At Leadership Live 2025, one line deeply resonated...
"You don’t have a high-performing team — you have a fragile team performing highly."
Building on the success of their keynote, Synthosys co-founders, Dr Tarek Jomaa and Dr Vanessa Pozzali, are returning to The Institute of Leadership to deliver a powerful masterclass on how to design truly antifragile teams.
In this 45-minute session, they’ll introduce you to the 4C Model of High-Performance, developed through years of research, motorsport insights, psychology, and coaching practice.
Drawing on real case studies and live examples, this IoL Masterclass offers a fresh, dynamic lens to help you evolve your approach to team success — from performance to endurance.
