OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Constantine Kisin

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Constantine Kisin earns the Navigator archetype through the way he steers rather than shouts. A satirist and social commentator, he leads by mapping contested cultural terrain and helping audiences find their bearings within it, using humour as an instrument of orientation. On The Diary of a CEO, that quality was on display, a leader whose value lies less in declaring destinations than in charting a defensible route through complicated public argument.

DIAGNOSING GEOPOLITICAL ORDER COLLAPSE

Trump is acting in recognition of that reality, saying we are not going to play by the fake rules anymore that no one else is playing by anyway. Is there a risk with this strategy? Of course.

INTERPRETING TRUMP'S STRATEGIC LOGIC

I am what I call an accelerationist. The only way that these things will truly fundamentally get better is when they get really, really bad first.
