Americans Turning to Corporate Leadership Amid Political Dissatisfaction

Douglas E. Schoen

 

Unsettled anger in our country is creating significant dissatisfaction with both political parties, according to keynote speaker Doug Schoen, Opinion Pollster, Corporate Strategist, and Democratic Campaign Consultant. 

  • As trust and confidence in the political parties decline, Americans are looking to corporate leaders to reflect their individual values.

  • Dialogue and discussion between corporate leaders and Americans are key to maintaining trust and stability in employer-employee and employer-consumer relationships, he said.
Could dissatisfaction spark the rise of a third party? With the 2024 presidential election front runners both holding approval ratings around 40%, talks of a third party continue. Schoen called the possibility intriguing, but who leads that party and what the party represents are difficult decisions.

“Unsettled times.” Mr. Schoen remarked on the unprecedented times we are living in with the top Presidential candidates facing personal and legal challenges. With confidence in both front runners so low, perceptions of the economy still negative, and further indictments seemingly strengthening Trump’s support, whoever the next President is, they will be divisive. 

Corporate leadership has become a source of stability. At a time of significant political disruption, company culture and presence in the community often steps in as an anchor for people. Schoen urged attendees to understand the importance of their role in shaping conversations around divisive topics.
