In an interview with The Washington Post, BCG CEO Rich Lesser discusses executives’ hesitation to restart the economy. As some states ease lockdown restrictions, CEOs are cautious of reopening too quickly, which could lead to a “W” trajectory. He explains that not only would this trajectory further damage the economy, but it could also harm society and consumer confidence. Lesser emphasizes that while CEOs are worried about the economy, their first concern is “how to keep people safe.”
