Navigating change is never easy. And in our rapidly evolving world, it’s becoming more and more complicated for #leaders in any industry to manage. Geopolitical upheaval. Artificial intelligence (#AI). Election uncertainty. These external forces are only adding to the challenges CEOs and boards and other leaders face. Spencer Stuart’s “Measure of Leadership” series attempts to provide valuable insights to leaders in the areas that are of most concern at the moment. They surveyed more than 2,000 CEOs and board directors about a range of topics, including what keeps them up at night and how they are coping. There also surveyed more than 1,200 employees in the U.S. and U.K., comparing their responses and leaders’ views.

Leadership in a Shifting Global Macro Economic Landscape - that was the topic explored by Gunjan Kedia, President, U.S. Bancorp, and Manus Cranny, Bloomberg TV anchor, at last week’s Bloomberg Sell-Side Leaders Forum. Gunjan talked about some of the bigger trends that are shaping the future of business: the cost of capital, labor trends and generational diversity in the workforce, how AI might impact productivity and how different industries and businesses across the U.S. think about global issues. My favorite part of the discussion was on the confluence of generations in the workplace, and the importance of maximizing the unique contributions each one brings. Big thanks to the Bloomberg team for hosting.
