Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Monkeys Can Teach Us About Leadership with Michael Platt - Bonus Episode
Q: There's a question here about whether leadership is born or made. What's your take on that?
The evidence points to a mix—traits are influenced about 50/50 by genetics and experience, with the social environment and interactions shaping how those traits manifest and develop over time.
When Culture Is the Strategy: Lessons from Elite Leaders in HR
Q: What is your greatest hope and fear regarding AI in HR and the workplace?
Hope: AI elevates the function, accelerates capability, and informs strategic decisions while preserving a human-centered approach; Fear: losing critical thinking and human judgment, or reducing HR to hollow headcount reductions labeled as AI efficiency.
When Culture Is the Strategy: Lessons from Elite Leaders in HR
Q: How has the CHRO role shifted and what are boards asking for today that they weren't five to seven years ago?
Boards now expect HR leaders to participate as equal partners in enterprise decision-making, integrating talent strategy with business strategy, and to demonstrate tangible impact and literacy across finance, operations, and growth challenges.
The Leader's Brain: What Neuroscience Reveals About the Future of Leadership with Michael Platt
Q: What advice would you give to future leaders?
Double down on social-emotional skills and authentic connection; invest time to build synchrony in teams, model the behavior you want to see, and treat communication as a core leadership practice that enables performance.
The Leader's Brain: What Neuroscience Reveals About the Future of Leadership with Michael Platt
Q: What keeps you up at night?
