In today’s technology-driven world, it looks pretty long to visualise beyond 20 years. By that time, it is possible that people may be travelling on self-operated flights and vehicles, and many business operations will be automated. However, some fundamentals will still require human intervention, particularly planning, strategising, governance and ensuring ethical decision-making. Having served on the boards of several companies across the globe for more than 20 years, I will slow down and focus on (i) helping companies drive sustainable development through ethical leadership and (ii) mentoring emerging business leaders as part of board succession plans. There is no better way of signing out from the business world than handing over to ethical leaders who will continue to value the interests of all stakeholders in business decisions.
