What does it mean to think like a CEO, or even a monarch, about the future of your business and estate?
Davide and Sara are joined by Karl Moore, professor at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management, Forbes contributor and longtime host of the CEO Series podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, succession and the difference between building a business for the quarter and building one for generations.
Honoured in the Canadian Senate last month for having "enriched public discourse... translating rigorous research into accessible insight", Karl explains why the strongest business legacies are shaped by disciplined succession planning and a serious commitment to developing younger leaders. Drawing on decades of conversations with senior executives, he reflects on why family businesses often outperform, what other CEOs can learn from that model, and why organizations should be planning not just for the next leader, but for the layers of leadership that follow.
The conversation also explores reverse mentorship, the changing definition of success for younger generations, and the growing pressure on leaders to respond to AI, climate concerns and a more volatile economy.
Karl's latest book is We Are All Ambiverts Now: Introverts, Ambiverts, and Extroverts in the C-Suite.
