This is the Global Recast. Conversations with global leaders on grit, courage, and economic optimism in a fractured world — all at the intersection of global business, public policy, innovation, development, and diplomacy.

Global governance is broken. And our world has never been more divided.

Many believe it’s a crisis of leadership. From corporate boardrooms to multilateral institutions and from the ivory towers to the political campaign trail, we are seeing a common trend. Fatigue. Burnout. Confusion. Simply put, many leaders are out of their depths.

But far from history, economic theory, and subjective approximations of reality, what happens to grit? Yes, resilience and courage in leadership.

Beyond the left-right and North–South binary narratives, the Global Recast has an overarching objective: to generate actionable insights and help devise pragmatic solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time.
