Defining leadership in an evolving world
What does impactful business leadership look like today?
Globe Media Group recently hosted a roundtable discussion, Confident Leadership in a Changing World, featuring Alfredo Cunanan Mendoza Tan, our Senior Vice President and Managing Director. He was joined by other industry leaders including Caroline Moul, Matt McGowan, and moderator Shannon Lewis.
The broad-ranging conversation included topics like leadership traits, pillars of good decision-making, the impacts of AI, the nature of work in a post-pandemic world and more. Here’s a look at some of Tan’s insights during the discussion:
Great leaders explore multiple fields with endless curiosity, continuous learning and have a collaborative mindset internally and externally in order to guide various aspects of business.
Balancing data with the advice of experts within an organization is the key to great decision-making.
AI is neither inherently good nor bad. Like many advances in technology, it’s how AI is utilized that determines the impact it makes.
The future of work involves an optimally balanced hybrid model between remote and in-person work to allow people to do their best work and create the greatest organizational impact.

The heat is on: How to connect with Canadian shoppers this summer
Summer in Canada: it's more than just sunshine, blue skies, and long weekends. It's a golden opportunity for brands that understand the unique needs and desires of Canadian shoppers as they embrace the warmer weather. Let's dive into the key consumer trends that will help you connect with Canadian shoppers and drive sales this summer
As routines change and days stretch out, so do consumer priorities. One major shift in consumer behaviour is the rise in online sales during the summer months. From 2023 to 2024, online sales during the summer months grew by 9% (Internal Loblaw data, 2024). This suggests that consumers are increasingly embracing the convenience of online shopping while maximizing their time enjoying the summer weather. Instead of spending precious sunny days in crowded stores, some shoppers may opt to browse and buy from the comfort of their patios, poolside, or even on vacation. This presents a prime opportunity for brands to optimize their online presence and capture a larger share of the market by catering to this desire for seamless, convenient shopping experiences.
This shift towards online shopping during the summer months is just one piece of the puzzle. Let's dive into the broader seasonal trends that are shaping consumer behaviour this summer.
