In this episode of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast, co-host Michael Chui talks with Matthew J. Slaughter, Paul Danos Dean and Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. Slaughter takes the temperature of globalization, discussing ways of tackling distributional challenges and ensuring it works for ordinary families. He also reflects on the evolving demands on leaders of corporations in the 21st century, positing that those who recognize their wider purpose in society tend to outperform on productivity growth and profits. He answers questions including the following:
● At a time of great challenge in terms of globalization, what has worked, what hasn’t worked, and what have we learned?
● What can be done to achieve the benefits of globalization while making sure distributional challenges are addressed?
● How have the demands placed on leaders in the 21st century changed?
● In late 2021, there is a lot of discussion about supply chain issues. What is going on here and what is going to happen?
