The 2026 Mindshop Business Leader Global Trends Report
For leaders in 2026, the real challenge isn’t using AI, it’s using it in a way that strengthens good judgement, augments tasks, sharpens decisions & lifts performance without losing what makes them effective in the first place.
Technology won’t compensate for weak leadership fundamentals. It will only amplify them.
Sustained disruption over many years has also left many leaders change fatigued. That’s why high performers in 2026 are getting back to fundamentals: a clear vision & goals, strong people, solid strategy, capability mastery & an operating rhythm that keeps everyone accountable.
This next leadership phase is about Human + AI, using technology to extend capability, not replace acumen, intuition, or emotional intelligence. Leaders who excel will:
- Use AI to strengthen judgment & strategic clarity.
- Build psychological endurance & a reliable leadership operating cadence.
- Increase impact through mastery of core leadership capabilities & improved strategic productivity.
- Achieve strong growth & profit by getting things done, connecting the dots & leveraging their trusted reputation.

Leveraging Today’s Challenges: Five Powerful Strategies
This paper was written in September 2022, however it still remains relevant today: Leveraging Today’s Challenges
It is tough to run a business right now as a leader but there are still opportunities to be had. In tough times the strong get stronger and the weak fade away.
We have had tough times before and each have been different. This time around we are dealing with a pandemic, wars, energy crisis, attraction / retention of people and rapidly increasing costs of doing business. Most leaders are unsure what to do so they have adopted a very conservative approach and are focusing on cost reduction only. While we don’t disagree with that approach there is an entrepreneurial slant that can be taken.
Below are five simple yet powerful strategies that you could use to leverage today’s challenges to your advantage as a leader in your business.
- Cut Costs
- Increase Prices
- Cash Flow
- Increase Engagement
- Focus on the medium to long term vision
We work with some pretty amazing people and organisations!
Hear what Rosemary Sinclair AM (prior CEO, auDA) had to say about working with Angela
‘Angela, thank you for your work helping us develop auDA’s Strategic Plan 2021-2025. As you know we have a critical task on behalf of all Australians to operate Australia’s part of the Internet, the .au domain. And as we have seen during this COVID response period access to trusted online services is critical. We did all of our work remotely, surprising even ourselves – your facilitation skills were remarkable! Providing us with tools to reflect on strengths and opportunities, including everyone in discussions, supporting us to identify clearly our areas of strategic focus and capabilities – it all added up to informed, insightful and inspiring work. We are already living the Strategic Plan and delivering better value to Australians because of it!
Rosemary Sinclair, AM
