Geopolitical escalation in the MENA region is not simply a regional crisis. It is a stress test of the global economic system. Energy markets. Trade corridors. Capital flows. Digital infrastructure. Political alliances. These systems are deeply interconnected—and disruption in one can ripple across them all. In this new environment, leaders must navigate major pressures shaping the global economy. The question for institutions and global leaders is no longer whether volatility will occur—but how prepared they are to manage it strategically.

Next in our Global Insights thought leadership series, Thunderbird faculty (Dean Griffy-Brown, Deputy Dean Jonas Gamso, and Sr. Associate Roy Nelson) explore the economic implications of the current geopolitical environment and outline the leadership capabilities required to turn volatility into value.

Many organizations invest heavily in strategy. Fewer invest enough in the teams responsible for delivering it.

As he writes, data should not replace empathy — it should strengthen it.
