Agenda

Business leaders now find themselves in the crossfire of expectations. On the one hand, pressure to deliver results and returns for shareholders. On the other – growing expectations from employees, consumers, and society regarding responsibility, transparency, and engagement in social issues. How to navigate a world in which every business decision is simultaneously a statement of values? Cancel culture, the backlash against ESG, culture wars, generational differences in values – today’s CEO must be not only a manager, but also a philosopher, diplomat, and often a psychologist.
