Setup
Activist investors, and active employees. Climate change and drought. Battles over trade—and by #tweet. When public anxiety drives low trust, who’s on the speed dial of top business leaders? What’s the playbook for business risks not in the company’s control? Which values are bedrock—do they illuminate the path when a bold step is needed? Join a conversation with industry veterans from Allstate and General Mills, companies that share history, complexity, and long tail risk in competitive markets. What responsibility does the CEO bear for re-knitting the fraying fabric that holds us together? What is expected now, and how will we assess their success—and legacy?
