Americans Turning to Corporate Leadership Amid Political Dissatisfaction

“Unsettled times.” Mr. Schoen remarked on the unprecedented times we are living in with the top Presidential candidates facing personal and legal challenges. With confidence in both front runners so low, perceptions of the economy still negative, and further indictments seemingly strengthening Trump’s support, whoever the next President is, they will be divisive. 

Corporate leadership has become a source of stability. At a time of significant political disruption, company culture and presence in the community often steps in as an anchor for people. Schoen urged attendees to understand the importance of their role in shaping conversations around divisive topics.
