Erica Parker, the Managing Director of Custom Research at the Harris Poll, joins us to illuminate the evolving expectations of modern leadership. What happens when trust in public institutions crumbles and the spotlight shifts to corporate leaders? Erica shares how this shift has intensified in recent years, especially through the pandemic, leading to a complex web of political entanglements. Discover how consumer purchasing decisions are now heavily influenced by perceived political stances and the notion that leaders may be impeding social progress. This episode is a deep dive into the leadership crisis, unraveling the intricate connection between societal anxieties and corporate responsibility. 

In our conversation with Erica, we tackle the pressing societal issues highlighted by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, from hunger and poverty to health and education. How can leaders effectively prioritize and address these challenges in a world fraught with public stress and institutional distrust? The episode emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts among public, private, and individual sectors to foster genuine change. We discuss the essential qualities leaders must embody—selflessness, innovation, and hard work—and explore the shift from corporate-driven initiatives to broader cooperative approaches. Join us as we map out the path forward for impactful leadership amidst today's unprecedented challenges.
