"Declining optimism" Highlighted in World Economic Forum Global Risks
"Declining Optimism"
"Declining optimism" is the first of The Key Findings of the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2025
I have been warning about this for ten years and am glad the message is getting through.
In October, the Commonwealth Heads of Government recognised the importance of the issue in their Heads of Government Communique, in which they committed to " restoring hope and optimism in our common future." https://lnkd.in/geN8RPCT
So, too, I am glad to read that Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum, stated, "Despite divergent positions and great uncertainties, the Annual Meeting 2025 will foster a spirit of cooperation and constructive optimism with the objective of shaping the forthcoming Intelligent Age in a more sustainable and inclusive way."
Some of the things to do are simple:
Share more of the joy of work.
Ask people what brings them optimism and joy.
Make the "safety report" number 2 - the joy and optimism report the number 1.
How do we best model the optimism to counter this global risk?
