Can leaders invest in a sustainable future and navigate near-term risks?
On Point
Finding equilibrium in ESG Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Play the long game. The 2020s are proving a critical turning point for the net-zero transition. Many decarbonization investments are being delayed, which could make it harder to meet net-zero-emissions goals by 2050. Even during a potential downturn, investors and companies need to allocate capital in a way that makes long-term sustainability goals a reality, say McKinsey partner Anna Moore and senior partner Humayun Tai. Proactively making long-term investments could help generate between $9 trillion and $12 trillion in new green value pools by 2030.

What does the future hold for new leaders?

In a new McKinsey Quarterly interview with McKinsey’s chief marketing officer and a senior partner Tracy Francis, she talks about how diversity and inclusion, innovation and entrepreneurship, and geopolitics play into the business education at Haas, and why “confidence without attitude” is an important leadership quality. Give it a read and be prepared for the future.

Black workers are still underrepresented in tech. What could that cost Black US families?
On Point
Closing the Black tech talent gap Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• The bottom line. Black employees are severely underrepresented in the US tech industry, especially relative to the overall population. The implications of this wage gap can influence generational wealth in a big way: Black households could stand to lose out on more than $350 billion in tech job wages by 2030, or one-tenth of total household wealth, according to a McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility analysis by partner Jan Shelly Brown and colleagues.

Black swans, gray rhinos, and silver linings: Anticipating geopolitical risks (and openings)
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Think broadly Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
It’s been a year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the war is continuing to cause global disruptions in energy, food security, supply chains, and more. In a new article, McKinsey’s Andrew Grant, Ziad Haider, and Anke Raufuss emphasize the importance of strategic conversations on geopolitical risk among multinational CEOs and boards. They categorize geopolitical events in three ways—black swans, gray rhinos, and silver linings—and outline a framework for scenario planning for each that can help companies structure their strategic conversations amid a fragmenting global order. Check it out and start the conversation.

Agree to disagree: A leader’s guide to supporting healthy dissent
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Multiple choices Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Leaders often pay lip service to the idea of dissent. When it actually occurs, however, they may react with fear and defensiveness—and sensing this, people may be reluctant to speak up in the future for fear of seeming confrontational or disloyal. But dissent can spark an open-minded exchange of ideas that may help solve tough challenges, point out senior partners Ben Fletcher and Dana Maor and their colleagues in their research on problem solving. In fact, they assert, “It’s not enough for leaders to give people permission to dissent; they must demand it of people.” This may involve taking a nuanced approach called “contributory dissent” that enables individuals and groups to differ on and debate business problems in ways that produce positive results. A critical aspect of this is discouraging unquestioning obedience and actively seeking out naysayers: for example, most companies have informal influencers who may offer innovative solutions to problems.
That’s the percentage of respondents to a McKinsey Global Survey who report a positive climate within their teams—and that number needs to be much higher, suggest McKinsey senior partner Aaron De Smet and coauthors. “Only a handful of business leaders often demonstrate the positive behaviors that can instill this climate, termed psychological safety, in their workforce,” they note in their analysis of the survey results. Consultative and supportive leaders—those who solicit input from and demonstrate concern for the welfare of team members—are most likely to create an environment where people believe they are respected and can express their opinions without fear of reprisal.
‘Leaders need to listen, but they are also responsible for adding positivity,’ says organizational psychologist Richard Boyatzis in this McKinsey Quarterly interview on psychological safety and leadership during uncertain times. “It could be as simple as showing genuine excitement over something you’re working on to lift the mood of the team.” Positive energy creates a shared sense of purpose that increases employee engagement and fosters an environment of trust, collaboration, and healthy conflict. “Although sometimes leaders may want to induce some stress into a situation to insert new energy and momentum, most of the time it’s better to engage people in positive pursuits to retain a higher level of creativity, productiveness, and engagement,” Boyatzis says.
Organizations have their share of nonconformist employees, and many such individuals may shine as innovators or entrepreneurs. But it’s important to distinguish between the brilliant maverick and the combative troublemaker. Rude or disrespectful behavior—even when cloaked as a “legitimate” divergence of opinion—can severely undermine collaboration, says author and business professor Christine Porath in this McKinsey article. “Civility . . . enhances individual contributions and team performance by increasing the feeling of ‘psychological safety,’” she says. “In one test, psychological safety increased by 35 percent when people were offered a suggestion civilly as compared with uncivilly, for example in an interaction marked by inconsiderate interruption.”
Lead by encouraging healthy dissent.

New technologies are changing how business is done. What are some big applications?
On Point
Three tech trends to know Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Synthetic spider silk. On this episode of The McKinsey Podcast, McKinsey partners Michael Chui and Roger Roberts examine three significant tech trends that hold promise for businesses: AI, cloud and edge computing, and bioengineering. Bioengineering makes it possible to scan the human genome and edit genetic code, which offers promise for creating new vaccines. Applications in consumer products might include developing different types of biomaterials: for example, some start-ups are creating synthetic spider silk for apparel.

The power of spoken word in healthcare, the space economy, Women in the Workplace, and more big reads for the weekend
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Catch up on the week’s big reads Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The weekend is here and it’s time to catch up on the week’s essential reads on the power of spoken-word performance in healthcare, how good governance can help the space economy, the latest Tech for Execs, and more.
TECH FOR EXECS
Welcome to Tech for Execs: quick primers on key technology concepts to get leaders up to speed.
Why do people choose Python? It’s a go-to language for back-end development, software, data science, and machine learning. It’s easy to learn, and integrates well with other languages—so it can find its place within pre-existing architectures without too much trouble.
What are the biggest benefits? Python is great for creating automated processes, which saves huge amounts of time. Its sheer popularity means there are thousands of existing packages—ready-to-use ‘chunks’ of code—out there. And it’s easy to read and debug, so if something goes wrong, it’s simple to fix.
How are organizations using Python? It’s particularly popular for data science applications. At McKinsey, we used Python in our work with a healthcare client to help improve COVID-19 capacity modelling. Because when you’re dealing with complex data lakes and working at speed, simplicity is a virtue.
Do my developers know Python? There’s a good chance they do—it’s one of the most popular languages out there. Even if they don’t, experienced developers can normally pick the language up quickly.
If we start using Python, does that mean starting over? Not necessarily—Python plays well with other languages. Plus, there’s no shortage of packages and frameworks out there to accelerate your work. One example is our open-source Kedro framework, which simplifies and standardizes data science coding.

How much will customers pay for sustainability?
The Shortlist
Four new insights Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Twice monthly, we bring you four new insights out of the dozens we publish that we think are worth a second glance from any business leader in any geography. In this edition, we look closely at China’s reopening, consumer interest in sustainability, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.
— Liz and Homayoun
The drumbeat is getting louder: net zero needs to happen. But recent generational shocks—including the pandemic and the war in Ukraine—have raised some tough questions. How can leaders keep their eyes on the net-zero prize? Our answer: go on offense. That means preserving existing business while also investing in future business, being laser focused on sustainable value pools, and forging creative new supply chain partnerships.

Got pork? Meat preferences are changing among Chinese consumers.
On Point
Five meat trends to grasp Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Changing preferences. China is the world’s largest consumer meat market. In 2021, the Chinese consumed almost 100 million tons of meat, 27% of the world’s total. But per capita meat consumption in China lags behind that of western countries. As increasing urbanization and rising income levels make meat more available and more affordable, this picture is likely to change, say McKinsey senior partner Sheng Hong and coauthors. Our survey of about 1,000 Chinese consumers finds that meat purchasing and eating habits are changing.

Corporate commitments to racial justice: An update
Harmony Internal - McKinsey
Create lasting impact Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
In 2020, many of the largest companies in the world pledged to support racial justice and also made monetary commitments following the murder of George Floyd. Since then, pledges have been growing every year according to analysis from the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility. The most recent analysis shows a $340 billion commitment from Fortune 1000 companies from May 2020 to October 2022. See the latest update from McKinsey partner Duwain Pinder and his coauthors to get a closer look at what this all means, including the types of companies and industries that have made these pledges, how the funds are being spent, and further suggestions for how organizations can contribute to creating lasting impact on racial equity in the US.
