good morning.
It's been almost 10 years since I started writing this daily newsletter, and I have two more weeks until I stop. So, stick with me over the next two weeks as I share some final thoughts.
The business world has changed dramatically over the past decade. The technological transformation has been well documented elsewhere. But what I've discovered from countless roundtables with CEOs is that conversations that purport to be about technology can quickly turn into conversations about people. How can we lead in this era of unprecedented change? How can you get your team to embrace, rather than resist, the transformative potential of technology? How can you be engaged, inspired, and empowered to drive your business in alignment with your company's mission and values?
CEO Daily and luck More broadly, we have helped leaders answer these questions. Our reports, storytelling, benchmarks and conferences are all aimed at achieving the same goal: improving your business. How successful we are will be determined by others. But I asked some CEOs to seriously consider the following questions: luck What is important and relevant to you in today's world? We'll be sharing their answers over the next two weeks. Let's start with a few:
“luck This is critical to the business world, not only recording huge movements but also driving thought leadership and innovation. In an era where misinformation is abundant and wisdom is scarce, luck sets itself apart by not just reporting on the state of the global economy, but providing insight into the very things that shape it. ”

“In a business news environment largely defined by headlines and soundbites; luck We provide deep insights and sharp perspectives to explain today's challenges and help you better anticipate tomorrow's opportunities… [It] Cut through the noise and understand what matters to your business. ”

“Today's business leaders must be comfortable adapting to uncertainty and rapid change. luck is the trusted resource for addressing that change, with timely insights, rich storytelling, and rigorous rankings to hold companies accountable. We salute their commitment to not only reporting on the current state of business, but also to making business better for generations to come. ”
