If the rules-based order is broken, what comes next? And who will lead it? Mark Leonard argues in his new book, Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail, that the coming system will be “un-order,” governed not by China or the United States but by no one at all. Are states responding quickly enough? Leonard, who is the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, joins FP Live's Ravi Agrawal to explore how policymakers should adjust.

„Unser 7-jähriger Sohn ist wie ein kleiner Vulkan: Wenn er ausbricht, ist er nicht mehr zu stoppen“, sagt der Content-Creator Mark Leonard (@mark.my.thoughts). Lange Zeit wusste der Eltern-Coach nicht, was hinter diesem Verhalten steckt, inzwischen ist klar: Es handelt sich um eine sogenannte pathologische Anforderungsvermeidung (PDA), die dem Autismus-Spektrum zugeordnet wird. Und weil es darüber kaum Infos gibt auf dem deutschen Markt, hat Mark kurzerhand selbst auch Buch darüber geschrieben: „Mein einzigartiges Pandakind“. Im Gespräch mit Florian von der Online-Community Echte Papas und Marco (www.menshealth.de/dad) erzählt Mark, wie lange der Weg bis zur Diagnose war, was typische Verhaltensweisen für Pandakinder sind, vor welchen Herausforderungen seine Frau und er im Familienalltag stehen, wie er selbst wieder Kraft schöpft, weshalb bedürfnisorientierte Erziehung der Schlüssel ist und warum „Grenzen setzen“ nicht wirklich weiterhilft. Zusätzlich gibt es natürlich auch dieses Mal wieder einen neuen Song auf der Spotify-Playlist der ECHTEN PAPAS: https://spoti.fi/2Zutj4H, natürlich ausgesucht von Mark. Am besten die Spotify-Playlist gleich downloaden, anhören und abonnieren wie auch den Podcast selbst. Ihr habt Feedback? Zu der Playlist? Zu dieser Folge? Oder eine allgemeine Frage?

In recent years, there has been no shortage of crises for Europe to face. From the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine, the climate crisis, the migration crisis, it now must add an increasingly unreliable and unpredictable leader in the White House and the consequences of the conflict in Iran. On this episode of The UK in a Changing Europe podcast, Director Anand Menon is joined by Mark Leonard, co-founder and Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations. The pair discuss the end of the transatlantic alliance as we know it and how Europe can strenghten its resilience outside of NATO structures, whether European responses to different crises have met the moment, as well as the problems that the structural changes that China is driving will present for Europe looking forward.
Regina Botros is joined backstage by Mark Leonard Winter, whose Mark Antony has emerged as the standout performance in Bell Shakespeare's bold 2026 production of Julius Caesar. Making his Bell Shakespeare debut, Mark brings a volatile, magnetic energy to Antony in a contemporary staging set in 1990s Eastern Europe and directed by Peter Evans. A Helpmann Award winner and founding member of independent theatre company Black Lung, Mark is known for his fearless, risk‑taking performances across Australia's major stages, including Sydney Theatre Company and Melbourne Theatre Company. His acclaimed turn as Antony has drawn glowing reviews, with critics praising its wild charisma, mercurial shifts, and unsettling modernity — a performance that commands attention and divides opinion in all the right ways. We talk about Antony as both Caesar's confidant and political operator, the choices behind finding the character's duplicity, and how Mark approached a role often overshadowed by Brutus. He also reflects on breaking the fourth wall, including the production's much‑discussed funeral speech moment, and what it means to play Shakespeare with such direct audience connection. Bell Shakespeare's Julius Caesar runs at • Sydney Opera House: 7 March – 5 April 2026 • Canberra Theatre Centre: 10 – 18 April 2026 • Arts Centre Melbourne: 23 April – 10 May 2026
GESTIONNAIRES EN ACTION. À la Bourse, le plus difficile, c’est de savoir quand vient le bon moment de se départir d’un titre, estime François Rochon, président et gestionnaire de portefeuille à Giverny Capital. «La décision de vendre un titre, je dirais que ça dépend beaucoup de notre philosophie d'investissement au départ. Il faut un peu que la philosophie de vente soit en ligne avec la philosophie d'achat», estime-t-il. Il dit regarder divers critères au moment d’ajouter une entreprise en portefeuille, tentant de dénicher celles qui possèdent une valeur intrinsèque supérieure à la moyenne, bénéficient d’avantages concurrentiels durables, d’une bonne équipe de direction et d’un bon bilan tout en ayant de bonnes perspectives de croissance. «Tant que ça, c'est intact, on va vouloir garder le titre en portefeuille. Je dirais qu'il y a deux choses qui peuvent se produire qui nous inciteraient à vendre. La première, c'est que les belles qualités qu'on admirait dans l'entreprise peuvent changer», explique-t-il. La seconde chose qu’il aime moins, c’est si une entreprise augmente beaucoup son endettement, soit avec une acquisition ou pour toute autre raison. «Si je deviens moins confortable avec le niveau de la dette, même si les résultats sont bons, je vais parfois préférer vendre. C'est vraiment du cas par cas», explique-t-il. François Rochon soutient que d’autres éléments peuvent l’inciter à se départir d’un titre est l’émergence d’un concurrent qui possède de meilleures perspectives de croissance. Dans ces circonstances, il peut être avantageux selon lui de vendre le titre avec le moins de potentiel et d’allouer le capital à l’idée la plus prometteuse. Quand garder un titre : Constellation Software Quelques titres du portefeuille de Giverny Capital ont connu une année difficile en 2025 et l’éditeur de logiciels Constellation Software (CSU, 2441,27$) est l’un de ceux-là, lui qui valait 5300$ au printemps dernier avant d’amorcer un important repli. «Je pense que Constellation Software, c'est une très, très bonne entreprise. Il y a deux, trois facteurs qui expliquent la baisse du titre. Une des raisons, ça a été le départ pour des raisons de santé du président Mark Leonard. Toutefois, la raison principale de la baisse du titre, c'est que toutes les sociétés de logiciels ont beaucoup baissé en Bourse par crainte que l'intelligence artificielle vienne affecter durement leur modèle d'affaires», affirme-t-il. Le titre de Constellation, ces dernières années, se négociait à 30 fois les profits prévus, alors que ce ratio a chuté à 15 fois. «Pourtant, les résultats de 2025 ont été très bons. Le bénéfice par action ajusté a progressé d'à peu près 20%. Il n'y a donc pas de raison de croire, que les fondamentaux de l’entreprise ont changé», juge-t-il, estimant que le recul du titre est exagéré. Quand garder un titre : Five Below Un autre titre que Giverny Capital a choisi de garder en portefeuille malgré une période tumultueuse est celui du détaillant d'articles à 5 $ et moins Five Below (235,39$US). Le titre a chuté jusqu'à un peu moins de 55 $US avant de rebondir fortement pour dépasser 230$US. Dans ce cas, la patience des actionnaires a été récompensée. La patience a été récompensée dans ce cas. «On a acheté le titre la première fois durant la pandémie, donc en mars 2020. Je pense qu'on avait payé 70$US à l'époque. Les années 2020, 2021 et 2022 ont bien été, sauf que 2024 a été très difficile. Les profits ont baissé et le titre a beaucoup reculé», rappelle-t-il. Le creux de moins de 55$US a été atteint dans la foulée des tarifs du président Donald Trump. Les investisseurs craignaient alors que ces tarifs viennent rogner les marges bénéficiaires de l’entreprise, qui s’approvisionne beaucoup en Asie. «À ce moment-là, le titre était vraiment déprimé, mais je croyais beaucoup dans le modèle d'affaires de la société. Puis bon, le bilan était encore très solide. Ils ont changé de PDG (en embauchant Winnie Park en décembre 2024) et finalement, les résultats de 2025 ont été très bons, ce qui a fait rebondir le titre», dit François Rochon. Cinq ans après l’achat du titre, Giverny Capital était en territoire négatif avec cet investissement, mais selon l’investisseur, c’est la qualité du bilan qui a fait toute la différence.Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

Donald Trump wants Greenland - and he's willing to use tariffs to get it.If European allies refuse to sell, the US president has threatened to escalate trade penalties, weaponising economic pressure rather than military force. The proposal has sparked alarm across Europe, with some leaders calling for the EU to deploy its so-called “trade bazooka” in response. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned that a trade war benefits nobody.So is this just bluster - or the opening shot in a new phase of transatlantic economic conflict? And what would a trade war over a sparsely populated Arctic territory mean for the global economy?On this episode of The Fourcast, we're joined by Mark Leonard, Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, speaking as he travels to the World Economic Forum in Davos, and our Economics Correspondent Helia Ebrahimi is in the studio to break down the economic stakes.
On January 1, 2026, Warren Buffett officially stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and handed the reins to his longtime lieutenant Greg Abel.Buffett had been CEO of $BRKB for the past 60 years, and Berkshire's stock price had increased 5.5 million percent during his six-decade tenure.What's next for one of the world's greatest publicly-traded companies of all time?On today's @7investing Live show, my special guest Auri Hughes @Auri_Invest and I will discuss how massive leadership transitions can impact a company and how investors should evaluate them when deciding to buy or sell a stock.Our stock of focus today will be Constellation Software $CNSWF, whose CEO Mark Leonard similarly stepped down after three decades at the helm.
The geopolitical shocks of 2025 have the potential to reverberate for decades to come. Trump's America first agenda and the new US national security strategy risk European unity, security and the rise of far right politics; Trump's trade wars have served to increase the pressure on states looking to balance relations with the US, China and also a rising India, and Israel's assaults in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon have changed the balance of power in the Middle East. In the final episode of the year, Gavin Esler talks to Mark Leonard, co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, to examine how the geopolitical balance has shifted in 2025. • Support us on Patreon to keep This Is Not A Drill producing thought-provoking podcasts like this.

Constellation Software zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Softwarekonsolidierern der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte. Die Wachstumszahlen sind beeindruckend, die Übernahmestrategie gilt als wegweisend, und über 800 akquirierte Unternehmen haben ein Geschäftsmodell entstehen lassen, das in dieser Form einzigartig ist. Doch erstmals seit langer Zeit geraten gleich mehrere Grundpfeiler des Unternehmens unter Druck. Zum einen sorgt der überraschende Rücktritt von Gründer Mark Leonard für Verunsicherung. Seine Rolle als strategischer Kopf und Architekt des Akquisitionsmodells ist kaum zu überschätzen. Mit Mark Miller übernimmt zwar ein interner Manager mit jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung, doch der Übergang fällt in eine Phase, in der der Markt sensibler reagiert denn je. Gleichzeitig wächst der Wettbewerb durch neue KI-Plattformen, die einfache, individualisierbare Softwarelösungen ermöglichen. Gerade im vertikalen Softwaremarkt könnte dies die Margen unter Druck setzen. Einige Wettbewerber zeigen bereits ähnliche Schwächetendenzen, was die Frage aufwirft, ob die gesamte Branche vor einem strukturellen Wandel steht. Im Podcast wird beleuchtet, warum die Bewertung des Unternehmens trotz langfristiger Stärke spürbar gefallen ist, welche Rolle die jüngsten Quartalszahlen spielen und welche charttechnischen Marken jetzt entscheidend sind. Außerdem wird eingeordnet, wie real die Risiken für das Geschäftsmodell tatsächlich sind, und welche Faktoren darauf hindeuten, dass der aktuelle Abschwung sowohl Warnsignal als auch Chance sein kann.

GESTIONNAIRES EN ACTION. L'emblématique dirigeant de Constellation Software (CSU, 3855,64$), Mark Leonard, a annoncé qu'il quittait son poste de PDG de la société le 25 septembre dernier avec effet immédiat, invoquant des raisons personnelles. François Rochon, président et gestionnaire de portefeuille à Giverny Capital, a souvent vanté les qualités de Mark Leonard au fil des ans, lui qui est actionnaire de Constellation Software depuis 11 ans. Il soutient que l’entreprise reste un bon titre à détenir en portefeuille malgré le changement récent à la haute direction. «L'entreprise a une très grande profondeur. Elle a beaucoup de divisions très autonomes. Ça a toujours été géré de manière très décentralisée. Je ne pense pas que le changement de PDG va affecter la performance de Constellation Software à court terme», dit-il. À son avis, Mark Miller était le candidat logique pour succéder à Mark Leonard, puisqu’il fait partie de l’équipe de direction de la société depuis 30 ans. «Il était le président d'une des premières entreprises acquises par Constellation en 1995. C’est donc une suite logique. C'est sûr que j'ai une grande admiration pour Mark Leonard, mais son départ n’est pas négatif au point de nous pousser à vendre nos actions», affirme-t-il. Il souligne que Constellation Software a maintenu un rythme de croissance du bénéfice par action d'à peu près 20% par année. «Ça a été vraiment une performance phénoménale. Comparé à d'autres entreprises, dont la croissance est souvent moins durable, celle de Constellation repose en grande partie sur des revenus récurrents», précise-t-il. Une baisse de 27% peu inquiétante Le titre de Constellation Software a reculé d’environ 6% depuis l’annonce du départ du PDG, qui conserve toutefois un siège au conseil d’administration de l’entreprise. Toutefois, le recul depuis son plus récent sommet de 5300$ atteint 27%, lui qui valait environ 3855$ cette semaine. François Rochon ne s’en fait pas avec l’ampleur de la baisse. «Vous savez, j'ai vu neiger et des baisses de 25% à 30%, c'est quasi normal dans presque chaque société qu'on va posséder à très long terme», raconte-t-il. Selon lui, le ratio cours/bénéfice du titre à son sommet était assez élevé, ce qui peut expliquer le retour à la normale. Il reste que le recul de la valeur de l'action, alors que la Bourse de Toronto fait très bien cette année, peut soulever des questions. François Rochon soutient que la performance du S&P/TSX depuis le début de l’année n’est pas liée à celle de Constellation Software, mais plus à trois facteurs : la bonne tenue des titres bancaires et aurifères, sans oublier celle de Shopify (SHOP, 220,10$). *Le balado «Gestionnaires en action» a reçu un honneur, étant reconnu en juin dernier dans le Top 100 des meilleurs balados sur les marchés financiers en ligne par la société américaine Million Podcasts.Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

In this episode we primarily talk about Constellation Software’s wild week: Mark Leonard’s abrupt exit for health reasons following a rare conference call with investors on AI.

Send us a textWhat if your biggest business mistakes could become your greatest marketing opportunities? What if teenagers could successfully run million-dollar operations? Dr. Mark Leonard, human performance expert and certified high-performance coach, challenges conventional wisdom about leadership, success, and the younger generation.Having studied human psychology for over two decades, Dr. Leonard shares the fascinating insights that led him to develop a leadership approach based on coaching rather than dictating. He draws a powerful parallel between how we encourage toddlers learning to walk and how we should approach failures in business and life. "We're meant to struggle," he explains, "but what if you could be successful and happy? What if you could be successful and giving? What if, at the end of the day, you weren't exhausted but fulfilled?"The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Dr. Leonard reveals how he and his wife entrust teenagers to operate their Jeremiah's Italian Ice franchise locations. Rather than subscribing to negative stereotypes about younger workers, he's created a culture where these "toddlers in the workplace" flourish as leaders. His secret? Teaching them to ask questions, make decisions, and transform mistakes into opportunities.Perhaps most revolutionary is his approach to errors: "I love when my employees make mistakes. I can make money off of mistakes." By encouraging employees to create "the prettiest mistake they've ever made," these imperfect products become donations to schools, food banks, and local businesses—building community relationships while simultaneously serving as innovative marketing.Whether you're a business owner, manager, parent, or simply someone interested in human potential, this episode offers practical wisdom for creating environments where people thrive. Learn how kindness and empathy aren't just nice values—they're powerful tools for building successful businesses and meaningful relationships.Connect with Dr. Leonard at thehappinessbreakthrough.com and discover how his coaching can transform your approach to leadership, success, and fulfillment.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

In the middle of the night on November 10, 2012, an explosion wreaks havoc in a quiet neighborhood in the Indianapolis suburb Richmond Hill. The blast is so powerful that it moves the needle of an earthquake sensor 26 miles away. The massive explosion destroys homes and takes lives. But this is no accident. As they pick apart this insurance fraud gone wrong, investigators close in on suspects Monserrate Shirley and her conman boyfriend, Mark Leonard. When the law closes in, Leonard calls for more violence. (Original television broadcast: 8/14/17)
We break down key insights from Constellation Software’s recent AGM, where CEO Mark Leonard was candid about the challenges of deploying capital at scale, potential “style drift,” and the limits of future returns. Despite the company’s exceptional track record, Leonard warns that the days of 25%+ annual returns may be behind them—though opportunities could still remain if they navigate carefully into new verticals. We also dive into the surging popularity of covered call ETFs in Canada. But what are the real risks and benefits of these ETFs? We explain how these funds work, their pros and cons, and why some investors may be setting themselves up for disappointment by chasing double-digit yields.

Today, we are replaying one of our favorites, breaking down the industrial conglomerate AMETEK. AMETEK is a great pairing with last week's episode on Jack Henry. These are two businesses with very long track records executing a playbook. AMETEK is one of eight companies that Mark Leonard and his team at Constellation Software studied as they built their own empire. And it's one well worthy of a discussion as you'll hear. To break down AMETEK, I'm joined by Nael Fakhry, Co-CIO of the Osterweis Capital Management Growth and Income Strategy. Nael has spent a significant amount of time around AMETEK from the early 2000s until today. Please enjoy this breakdown on AMETEK.

Today, we are breaking down Jack Henry. If you're not familiar with it, Mark Leonard of Constellation Software once referred to this business as their ‘gold standard.' Jack Henry is a true best in class operator within the vertical market software space. To break down the business, I'm joined by Bob Desmond, Portfolio Manager and Head of Claremont Global. Jack Henry sells full operating system software that powers small and mid-sized banks. Like many great vertical market software businesses, M&A has been a piece of the puzzle, but Jack Henry puts a very deliberate focus on organic growth particularly in their core product. The stock has appreciated 480x since its IPO in the mid-eighties, but more recently, has been essentially flat over the past five years, and we get into great business dynamics versus stock dynamics. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Jack Henry.

New research last week suggested that a majority of Brexit voters would accept the return of freedom of movement in exchange for access to the EU single market. The poll, conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), found that 54% of Brexit voters – and 68% of all respondents – would accept this. Facing their own changing domestic concerns, how close can the UK and EU governments really get? Could Defence hold the key for collaboration? And how much is this driven by a more volatile geopolitical landscape ahead of Trump's return as US president? James Heale speaks to Anand Menon, director of the think-tank UK in a Changing Europe, and Mark Leonard, director at the ECFR. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

In this episode of Pekingology, Freeman Chair in China Studies Jude Blanchette is joined by Mark Leonard, co-founder and director of the European Council on Foreign Relations. He is also the Henry A Kissinger chair in foreign policy and international relations at the US Library of Congress, Washington DC. They discuss his recently co-authored book The Idea of China: Chinese Thinkers on Power, Progress, and People. (European Council on Foreign Relations, 2024)
There are many writings by Western scholars on Chinese foreign as well as domestic policy. Yet few have ventured to analyze the internal intellectual debates in China that, either partly or significantly, shape Chinese policymaking. A recent book from the European Council on Foreign Relations titled The Idea of China: Chinese Thinkers on Power, Progress, and People, intends to fill that gap. Written by Alicja Bachulska, Mark Leonard, and Janka Oertel, the book presents some of the leading Chinese perspectives on a range of contemporary global as well as domestic issues. To help us further understand Chinese thinking and its significance, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Alicja Bachulska, one of the co-authors of the book and a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
