This week, we dive into Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and uncover the leadership lessons hidden in the world of espionage, deception, and AI-driven chaos. Ethan Hunt’s latest mission puts him in the middle of a classic game theory scenario, where trust is in short supply and backstabbing is the norm.

💡 Key Takeaways:
🔹 Game Theory 101: The Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Mexican Standoff explain why world powers (and boardrooms) get trapped in cycles of mistrust.
