How do leaders get Three Steps Ahead and make better strategy decisions in 2026? In this episode, Martin Gibbs, Richard Miller and Simon Cossey explore what high-performing leaders must get right in a rapidly changing, AI-augmented world.

With early access to Mindshop’s Business Leader Global Trends Report 2026, we analyse the 8 key leadership performance trends shaping decision-making, execution and leadership effectiveness in 2026 — from judgement and operating cadence to psychological endurance and the role of the leader as Connector-in-Chief.

This is not an episode about AI tools or hype. It’s a practical, experience-led conversation about how leaders think clearly, maintain momentum, and make better next moves when volatility and uncertainty are the norm.
