"ADI IGNATIUS: I like that. We've written pieces in the past about how every company needs a foreign policy. And with all the uncertainty around trade, around supply chains, the market for talent, various policies, this level of uncertainty is making it tougher to lead. So, if you've got somebody who understands this, who can identify high-level trends, and tell us what to do about it, I am all ears."
"ALISON BEARD: Our guest today is Srividya Jandhyala, an associate professor at ESSEC Business School, whose life and career have taken her from India to the U.S. and U.K., and now Singapore. She'll explain how geopolitics have gone from being a tailwind to a headwind for most companies, why even small and mid-sized businesses are affected, and how organizations should rethink their structures and talent strategies in this context."
Rising geopolitical shifts and changing economic policies are generating fear and anxiety among corporate leaders, increasing uncertainty around trade, immigration, supply chains, and talent markets. Geopolitics has shifted from a tailwind to a headwind for many firms, affecting small and mid-sized businesses as well as multinationals. Organizations need corporate diplomacy and foreign-policy-minded roles to identify trends, guide investment and operations, and advise on talent and structural decisions. Executives must rethink organizational structures and talent strategies to manage geopolitical risk, adapt to policy changes, and maintain leadership amid heightened global uncertainty.
