The Biden administration assumes office as the United States—and the world—face challenging headwinds, from growing polarization to the pandemic’s toll.

Business leaders are being forced to step up, taking a stand on everything from racism and inequality, to immigration, climate change, and more recently, threats to democracy. Employees are increasingly likely to demand a voice, and there is a perception that capitalism is no longer working for the average American.
