The New Leadership Playbook: Technology, Geopolitics, and Uncertainty

Traditional leadership approaches—plan, optimize, execute—break down when environments shift constantly. AI and emerging technologies are changing competitive dynamics. Geopolitics is fragmenting markets. Business models are under pressure.

Leaders need different capabilities. Navigating uncertainty rather than seeking perfect information. Making decisions quickly with incomplete data. Building organizations that can pivot without breaking. Managing teams through constant change.

How do you lead when the playbook no longer applies? What skills matter—technical fluency with AI, geopolitical literacy, organizational adaptability? How do you balance speed with stability? What's the role of political leadership in shaping business environments?

CEOs, business leaders, political figures, organizational psychologists, and strategic advisors discuss what leadership looks like when the old rules don't work.
