Dear TIME reader,

Leadership has never been more important nor more urgently tested. The current pandemic is putting extraordinary demands on the world’s leaders.

To help understand what leadership requires today, TIME is starting The Leadership Brief, a new weekly interview series with the world's most influential CEOs, emailed directly to newsletter subscribers' inboxes.

In this series, we will explore how the world's most consequential business leaders are addressing the needs of their employees, customers, and stakeholders, and at the same time, charting a path forward in a future that looks very different than it did just a few short months ago. We know that to understand where leadership is headed, we must also understand what influenced today's leaders. Executives will share formative moments in their careers and insights into workplace issues that affect us all.

The first edition of The Leadership Brief—an interview with John Foley, CEO of Peloton—will be sent Sunday morning. You can sign up to receive it by clicking here.

Best,

Eben Shapiro
