  • What Is the World’s Most Important Problem?

    What Is the World’s Most Important Problem?
    Feb 5 2026
    There is no shortage of contenders for “the most important problem in the world.” Every day, leaders confront a growing list of complex and overlapping challenges that demand their attention. A new report from Gallup, released at World Governments Summit 2026, focuses on the issues people most want their leaders to solve, based on their responses to a new question added to the Gallup World Poll: “According to you, what is the most important problem your country is facing currently?” Riada Akyol, senior communications consultant at Gallup, and Benedict Vigers, Gallup senior global news writer, discuss the findings from this new research.

    Nov 20 2025
    The Gallup Podcast will return in 2026. As we round out the year, we invite you to explore Leading With Strengths, a special series on global leadership. Through in-depth interviews, we uncover the decisions, mindsets and strengths that define exceptional leadership across industries and cultures.

    Juan Carlos Pinzón twice served as Colombia’s ambassador to the U.S., helping commemorate 200 years of diplomatic relations. From 2011 to 2015, he was Colombia’s youngest minister of defense, after serving as chief of staff to the president, vice minister of defense, and adviser at the World Bank, along with senior positions in banking and finance. Pinzón is a visiting professor at Princeton University.

    In this conversation, Gallup CEO Jon Clifton speaks with Pinzón regarding what history teaches us about leadership, why great leaders think beyond tomorrow’s headlines, how the emotions of a nation shape its destiny, and why understanding people’s pain is crucial.
