In this EDGE - Beyond The Stage 1:1, Hagai M Segal explains why leaders can no longer treat geopolitics as background noise. He frames the current moment as a transition from one bipolar contest to another, with the US-China rivalry shaping how regions, markets, and alliances reposition themselves. Hagai argues that CEOs do not need to become experts in everything, but they do need systems, conversations, and discipline to understand where the “polycrisis world” will hit their business. He also points to key near-term risks, especially around Iran, and explains why resilience is now a core leadership function.
Takeways:
• Leaders are operating in a “period of transition” shaped by a coming US-China contest.
• CEOs do not need to master all of geopolitics, but they do need to know where the “polycrisis world” will affect their business.
• One major blind spot is entering markets without enough cultural and geopolitical nuance.
• In Hagai’s words, CEOs today are “chief resilience officers.”
