Defy: The power of no
In a world that prizes agreement and compliance, saying no can feel uncomfortable. Yet the ability to challenge assumptions and speak up with conviction is essential to effective leadership.
In this FT Women in Business session, FT Management Editor Anjli Raval speaks with Professor Sunita Sah about the psychology of obedience and how redefining “no” can help leaders make better decisions, build trust and create cultures where people feel safe to speak up.
Economic outlook 2026
This FT Future Leaders session examined how uncertainty is shaping the economic landscape in 2026, from shifting monetary conditions and fiscal pressures to geopolitical change, and what it means for investment, employment and long-term business resilience.
The panel featured Chris Giles, FT Economics Commentator; Ruth Curtice, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation; Michael Saunders, Senior Economic Advisor at Oxford Economics; Rain Newton-Smith, Chief Executive of the CBI; and Stephen King, Senior Economic Advisor at HSBC.
