In this EDGE - Beyond The Stage 1:1, Harry Hui explains why leaders today can no longer separate business strategy from geopolitics. He unpacks the simultaneous “convergence or divergence” shaping global markets, points to common blind spots leaders still carry from an older world order, and argues that successful leadership now requires holistic thinking, continuous learning, and the ability to question long-held assumptions. He also offers a grounded but optimistic message for 2026: stay balanced, stay open, and keep listening to the other side.
Takeaways:
• Leaders today “can't operate in this world and run a successful business without a geopolitical understanding.”
• One major blind spot is that “the market is moving a lot faster than your long held assumptions.”
• Great leadership now requires holistic thinking, constant learning, and openness to changing your mind.
