In today’s episode: With a lack of trust in the federal jobs report, the private sector has come up with their own analysis: the unemployment rate is 5.0%. The jobs report is, more than anything, a directional metric. It doesn't seem like companies are feeling the loss of the federal jobs number. Did we ever really need it?

In today's episode: Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss ⁠⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year. If you want something to scale, you need to operationalize it. That requires constant repetition. When you've "run the play" enough times, it becomes second nature and then naturally flows. Repeat yourself to the point that it feels silly. The instinct to avoid looking silly comes from a place of fear.

In today's episode: Lenovo's Chief Inclusion Officer, Calvin Crosslin, explains the key role of diversity in a global organization, even with all the pushback against DEI in the last year. Inclusion involves a diversity of culture, language, and thought, which can vary wildly around the world and in different areas of a company. Core company culture often outweighs the impact of cultures across geographic regions.

In today’s episode: The government shutdown has had a huge impact on airport delays and cancellations, creating havoc for millions of Americans. That dissatisfaction with government likely impacted last week's election results nationwide. A lot of us are wondering who's to blame.

In today's episode: Jessica breaks down SHRM Blueprint conference -- which wasn't necessarily positive about DEI. Officials from the Trump administration were invited, and there was definitely tension between their messaging and the audience. Fundamentally, disageements over the meaning of "equity" reinforced SHRM's decision to move toward the label "I &D."

In today's episode: Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss the origins of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year. The real source of change resistance in the modern age is change fatigue. People are tired of making big swings in strategy and tactics. The companies that are facing the least resistance are the ones that embrace adaptability as a core cultural belief. You can do all the training in the world, but if the beliefs of employees don't shift to embrace a change, then the change will fail.

In today’s episode: AI is a tool that can let people become exceptionally innovative or exceptionally lazy. Previous technological revolutions allowed us to produce more--this one is about efficiency, which is likely to reduce jobs and damage the economy. People need to remember that AI tools are only as good as the data they're based on; to use it effectively, we'll still need to be creative and attentive.

In today’s episode: Amazon recently laid off 30,000 white-collar workers--and they're not the only big company that just did major layoffs. There's going to be a cascading effect across the workforce as companies use this for cover. This is part of a broader story about a weakened labor market nationwide, and it's just a warm-up for what's to come. There are macro-level consequences to this overall trend.

In today’s episode: Large investment banks are partnering with OpenAI to permanently replace junior investment banking jobs with AI.

In today's episode: Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss the origins of ⁠⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year. Employee disengagement is often a reaction to fear-based leadership. When leaders are obsessed with control, apathy becomes one of the few ways that employees retake agency. People want to work. It's on leaders to create the connection between employees and the work;. When leaders force employees into the office unnecessarily, it sends a message that there's a lack of trust.

In today’s episode: Zoom's CEO has begun using an AI avatar to deliver information on earnings calls. Human authenticity is important for culture and relationships, but the CEO's relationship to employees isn't the same as the relationship with shareholders. With earnings calls being so impersonal and heavily-scripted by design, John argues the use of the avatar is a perfect use of AI.

In today's episode: Adobe's Stacy Martinet explains how the company is adopting AI internally. We're still in the early days of AI in the workplace; it's about collaborative learning across disciplines and levels of the corporate ladder.

In today’s episode: Political labels have always been a danger zone for corporate leaders. Recently, we've seen leaders who have been liberal-leaning in the past turn friendlier to the Trump administration. There are a lot of complicated political and economic calculations that go into those decisions, and nobody has a crystal ball to be able to tell the long-term future of tariffs and other administration policies.

In today's episode: Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss the origins of ⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year. Control feels good for leaders--it can get you an initial boost in productivity, but it doesn't have legs. In the Stanford research, companies that focused on control saw 10% growth; but when they switched to focus on culture, they say 40% growth. People love the stories of controlling leaders, but the truth is that servant-leaders who approach with abundance and love see the best returns.

In today’s episode: A new study shows that most people are willing to take up to a 25% pay cut if they're able to work from home. More flexibility creates more options for employees; they're more likely to stick around. This works especially well for working mothers. Return-to-office mandates to "save" a company's culture is a result of mistrust or bad management. It's an antiquated view of work, and one that leads to worse results.

In today's episode: A larger number of women are leaving the workforce in 2025, seemingly for good. It's likely related to return-to-office mandates. When a company has more than 50% of leadership roles filled by women, they have stronger revenue growth, culture, and employee engagement. This is a real problem for the bottom line. If women are leaving the workforce at these rates, it's a red flag for the economy at large.
