How These Fortune 500 Leaders Navigate the Modern World | Dealbook Summit 2025

Watch all of the day’s interviews:    • DealBook Summit 2025 | The New York Times ...   The modern business leader walks a tightrope: between fighting for the success of their company and shareholder value; communication and leadership ability, demands for innovation, social and media representation, political pressures and international dynamics, and besting their competition. So today we ask, how do they manage these competing interests, and what does it mean to lead with purpose? How do current Fortune 500 leaders see their role today, and what defines their leadership? How are they considering market uncertainties, and the landscape for opportunities? The big question of the moment: How are they approaching the integration of GenAI? How are they prioritizing their time, resources, value systems, etc.? And how are they building resiliency in their own companies? And on a personal note, what part of their job is the most meaningful? How do they consider their legacy?
