Leadership Insights That Endure

CEOs and aspiring executives face a constant storm of disruption—AI revolutions, workforce shifts, geopolitical tension, and high-stakes deals. But when the pressure rises, where do leaders turn for clarity and perspective?
Leadership Insights That Endure offers a rare window into the minds of two leaders from Boston Consulting Group—a top global consulting firm—over the course of five years of real-world transformation. Christoph Schweizer, BCG’s CEO, along with former CEO and current Global Chair Rich Lesser, share their most powerful weekly briefs written to leaders in the middle of crises, recalibrations, and reinventions.
