In Episode 3 of ET Titan Talks, Deepak Ajwani, Editor, The Economic Times Digital, speaks with Dr Ram Charan, management guru and advisor to CEOs and boards, on what leadership must look like over the next 20 years.Charan argues the half-life of strategy has collapsed: five-year plans increasingly become paper exercises unless translated into clear, measurable ideas funded today and reviewed frequently. He explains how CEOs can separate signal from noise, why execution matters more than decks, and what changes when Gen Z expects autonomy, teams and coaching rather than layers of hierarchy. The episode also examines talent development, training versus talks, and why boards often struggle with information asymmetry.
