The leadership read

Consolidation shifts the leadership question from growth to integration. For Hugo Boss in the sector, the demand moves toward transformation and integration leaders who can merge teams, systems and cultures without losing momentum. Across EMEA, watch whether the integration is properly resourced; deals are won or lost the year after they close.

Market context: Backdrop: a 104.2 (Hot) Talent Market Index (down 1.8 on the month) with EMEA activity easing (-2.2pts).
