Caribbean Leadership: Turning Global Change Into Local Decisions

The useful part

26, 2026: A boardroom and a Cabinet room serve different purposes, yet both face the same test: Can those entrusted with power see reality clearly enough to make decisions that remain sound after the meeting ends? In the Caribbean and Africa, forces beyond the room can reach a family kitchen, a small business or a national budget with surprising speed.

How it works

• They can decide how prepared their institutions will be when the shock arrives.
• A consequential meeting should leave four things unmistakably clear: what was decided, who owns it, when it must happen and what evidence will show whether it worked.
• The measure of leadership is therefore not how much an institution needs one person, but how well it performs when that person is gone.
• Artificial intelligence can reshape work before schools adjust.

What to take from it

Higher global interest rates should sharpen attention to public debt and business financing. The youngest person at the table may see a technological risk that experience has missed. The meeting should focus on decisions: where to invest, what to stop, which risk has changed, which assumption no longer holds and which opportunity deserves attention.

Example or evidence

• A government can build roads without generating enough productive activity to sustain them.
• The deeper responsibility is to build institutions that can outlast the people who hold power today.
