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.

This is not theory. It’s the playbook for high-level decision makers who want a clear audiobook on the most challenging and sensitive issues of the day.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How to break through the “CEO bubble” and hear the truth before it’s too late
  • What separates real change from surface-level transformation
  • Why trust and healthy skepticism are your secret weapons
  • How successful companies are scaling AI
  • What top performers know about mergers, innovation, and resilience

Written for sitting CEOs, senior executives, and those within striking distance of the C-suite, this audiobook delivers wisdom with brevity and candor.

Whether you’re navigating your biggest challenge yet—or preparing for what’s ahead—Leadership Insights That Endure will help you lead with strength and build with vision.
