| Ten years ago, CEOs and top teams typically focused on four or five critical issues at any one point in time. Today, it’s eight or ten. In this fragmented landscape, leading a global organization takes a new kind of focus. Our latest research highlights two important ways CEOs can level up. First, recognize that the personal attributes and best practices of leadership are distinctly different from what they used to be. Second, build a deep bench of talented leaders, using new leadership development approaches to shape, develop, and mentor the next generation of managers.

| Certain industries create more value and have a greater impact than others. We call these outperforming industries arenas of competition. A new report from the McKinsey Global Institute identifies 18 future arenas that could reshape the global economy between now and 2040, including AI software and services, future air mobility, drugs for obesity, and robotics. All told, they could generate up to $6 trillion in profits. These fast-growth industries are also defined by high dynamism, meaning market share within them changes hands to an outsize degree. This spells opportunity for modern, focused leadership teams.

| We hope you find these ideas inspiring and helpful. See you next time with more McKinsey ideas for the CEO and others in the C-suite.
