Series 2, Episode 12 - The challenge of leading in a volatile world, with Professor John Katsos, American University of Sharjah

“Today we stand at the precipice of not one but three converging and potentially catastrophic long-term trends: climate change, globalization, and growing inequality. On their own, each of these makes the occasional crisis worse: We might see a more destructive hurricane, a more widespread financial meltdown, or longer or more violent civil unrest. Together, though, these trends magnify challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic, for example, was not just a health crisis but an economic and political one as well.”Not my words, but rather those of our guest today on the Brain for Business podcast, - Professor John Katsos.John E.
