The leadership read
Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration. For Reliance Retail in Consulting, the demand moves toward transformation and integration leaders who can merge teams, systems and cultures without losing momentum. Across Asia, watch whether the integration is properly resourced; deals are won or lost the year after they close.
Market context: The wider read — a Talent Market Index of 97.6 (Neutral), down 3.4 month-on-month — shows Asia signal flow rising (+4.2pts).
