[ad_1] When I started my career over two decades ago, I thought the best leaders were the smartest people in the room: the ones with the answers, the sharpest opinions, and the clearest strategies.Since then, I’ve worked in four countries: Australia, Hong Kong, the UK, and Canada, holding progressively senior roles across corporate, academic, and administrative teams. I mainly work in the medical and education fields.Eventually, through all my positions, I realized I was wrong: True leadership meant something else entirely.I saw cultures that thrived, not because of policies or metrics, but because people felt safe.

[ad_1] In its latest bid to boost semiconductor production in the U.S., the Trump administration is reportedly considering a ratio-based approach that would penalize domestic manufacturers with tariffs if they don’t produce enough chips.
