The decisions that shape a company’s trajectory are rarely made with perfect information. What matters is how leaders navigate uncertainty – with judgment, trust in their teams, and a willingness to keep learning. As part of McKinsey’s Leading Asia series, I had the privilege of speaking with SUN PHARMA's chairman and managing director, Dilip Shanghvi, about the mindset that has guided the company’s growth over the decades, and the principles behind its emergence as a global pharmaceutical leader. What stayed with me most was Dilip’s steady focus on long-term thinking, innovation, and patient-centricity – principles that feel especially relevant in today’s fast-changing world.

As BCG’s Global People Chair, I can’t help but be excited about the incredible progress our teams at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) are making with AI. Nearly 90% of BCGers are now using AI in their work, with half using it habitually. AI is no longer a “nice-to-have” in the workplace, but a core part of how we learn, work, and grow.   In a recent interview with Lakshmi Varanasi at Business Insider, I shared how AI is raising the bar on quality and efficiency, and how the real differentiator remains our people - the judgment, creativity, and insight BCGers bring to every client challenge.   What excites me most is how our people are using AI to reinvest time into higher value activities, from sharper analysis to clearer storytelling. One of the best examples is in performance reviews: our AI tools have cut writing time by 40% and improved quality by 20%, freeing up leaders to focus on coaching and growth. And with BCGers having built more than 32,000 custom GPTs, the most of any OpenAI customer, innovation is now flowing from every corner of the firm.   I’m proud of the progress we’ve made so far with this powerful technology and excited for what’s next. Thank you, Lakshmi, for the opportunity to highlight our journey. To learn more, read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eF_Nzhea

Deloitte’s Private Company Outlook: Family Enterprise survey is out! 📣🙌 Lots of interesting insights on the strategic priorities for family businesses.   What caught my eye? 👀 While many leaders of family owned businesses think their organization is ready for succession, the next generation might not be as eager or ready.    Although nearly half of the 100 U.S. family business leaders surveyed feel prepared for leadership succession, many organizations face significant challenges. To prepare future leaders, family enterprises are focusing on formal education (52%), on-the-job training (48%), and mentorship (45%) to develop future-ready leaders.   But the challenge isn’t just about skills; it's about interest. The survey cited a lack of interest from the next generation (37%) – echoing Deloitte's Gen Z and Millennial Survey, which shows only 6% are primarily driven to reach senior leadership. Unclear selection criteria (31%) and leadership skill gaps (31%) further complicate matters, according to our Outlook.   As executives at privately owned companies look to secure the long-term stability and growth of their organizations, understanding succession dynamics is crucial. Dive into the full survey for more insights 👉https://lnkd.in/eQCBEDaq   Curious to hear from my network. How is your organization preparing the next generation?
