Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The future of work is agentic
Q: What would be the skills that are going to become more salient and human leaders to get the most out of agents?
HR needs to understand what agent workforces can do and help in re-skilling and empathic leadership in change management.
The future of work is agentic
Q: What advice do you have for them as they're thinking through their careers, and how to engage and work in the future that is agentic?
There will be a lot of demand for roles like prompt engineer, and existing roles may need to be re-purposed. The relationship between humans and AI will remain essential, particularly in tasks that require empathy.
The surprising state of employee health
Q: What did we mean when we used the term health in the context of this research?
Health encompasses not just physical well-being, but also mental, social, and emotional health.
The surprising state of employee health
Q: What's the biggest thing that leaders are getting wrong when it comes to employee health at this juncture?
Leaders often rely on correcting health issues after they arise rather than proactively fostering a healthy environment through organizational mechanisms.
The value of generosity in leadership
Q: How should the hiring process change to assess for characteristics like generosity?
The hiring process should focus on candidates' past track records, specifically their ability to foster supportive environments and facilitate the growth of their teams.
