WASHINGTON - The coronavirus pandemic has shown there's a leadership deficit around the world, according to a survey which said more people trust companies over their governments to keep economies going during the crisis.
More than 29,000 people from 27 countries participated in the 'The Listening Project' survey between February and October. "Maybe even more than the virus, our common crippling hardship is the lack of leadership being observed on the world stage." More than 1 million people have died from the coronavirus, with global infections exceeding 37 million, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The U.S., India and Brazil are suffering the biggest casualties.
The project showed 61 per cent of people globally agreed businesses had played a bigger role than authorities in"keeping my country running" during Covid-19, the Milken Institute and the Harris Poll said.
That, and the malign value of the MSM.
