The current wave of change and uncertainty in capital and financial markets raises a number of questions about the future and the way forward for aspiring leaders, especially young professionals. The ongoing changes, recently driven by factors such as trade tariffs and tensions are not only changing the economic & financial landscape, but also job mobility.
