Global Leadership Outlook 2026

Video cover

What every executive needs to know to navigate 2026 with clarity, confidence, and resilience.

2026 is not a year for business‑as‑usual leadership. Across every region, executives are facing uneven economic conditions, rapid AI acceleration, geopolitical tension, talent shortages, shifting workforce expectations, and the continued restructuring of the C‑suite.

Our Global Leadership Outlook 2026 brings together insights from more than 350 consultants across 45 countries, including data from our global Industrial & Energy survey and conversations with senior leaders on six continents.

This report distills the real‑world priorities, risks, and opportunities facing organizations—and the leadership capabilities required to meet them.
