Weber Shandwick and KRC Research conducted a study on CEO activism and found that 47 percent of Millennials believe CEOs have a responsibility to speak up on issues important to society. In the 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer, 72 percent surveyed – across generations – said they trust their employer to do what is right, and 64 percent said they want CEOs to take on policy changes without waiting for the government. Business leader activism is an emerging leadership model, and the Activate World podcast is a modern think tank in action to learn and act upon these shifts.
