Navigating Leadership in a Divisive World

As dozens of countries worldwide have held national elections in the past year, a new global agenda has emerged that is focused more on trade and taxes, and less on environmental and cultural issues. That’s the conclusion of the first edition of the CEO Radar—a new tool to help CEOs determine which issues truly deserve their time and attention. It unpacks the leading topics discussed on almost 4,700 earnings calls worldwide in Q4 2024, enabling chief executives to compare their agendas to those of their peers, and to the market’s expectations. On this first episode of the CEO Radar Podcast, Edward Adams of Bloomberg Media Studios is joined by Christoph Schweitzer, CEO of BCG, and Judith Wallenstein, head of BCG’s CEO advisory practice, to unpack the stories behind the data, based on their one-on-one conversations with CEOs.
