  • Not just business

    This is a podcast where you think it will be all "business-y", and yes, it is. But so much of what they cover can be applied to your personal life. The ideas presented, shared by leaders from brands we all know, can really make you re-think the way you conduct your business and your life. Well worth the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is AI the End of Cognitive Effort?
Q: How should leaders evolve to shepherd workforce transformation while maintaining trust and connection with employees?
Leaders should cultivate clear context setting, protect spaciousness for thoughtful decision making, and model courageous conversations about risks, ensuring that technology serves people and preserves social connection rather than replacing human interactions.
Is AI the End of Cognitive Effort?
Q: What needs to change in role design and incentive structures so leaders can focus on judgment and human-centered leadership, not just speed?
Organizations must invest in the human, recalibrate incentives to reward curiosity, discernment, and collaborative problem solving, and redesign roles to emphasize context, critical thinking, and the ability to partner with AI rather than simply accelerate tasks.
Is AI the End of Cognitive Effort?
Q: Follow up question for you, what do you think is at stake if we don't fundamentally address this disconnect?
The risk is persisting cognitive laziness, eroding critical thinking, and a widening gap between human judgment and automated outputs, which could reduce the value of human contributions and deepen disengagement unless organizations balance hard skills with soft, human-centered leadership.
Is AI Changing How Humans Connect? A Conversation with Workday CEO
Q: How should leaders think about balancing AI speed with human judgment in everyday work?
Leaders should use AI to augment human reasoning and collaboration, ensuring AI supports, rather than replaces, meaningful human interactions and decision-making.
Is AI Changing How Humans Connect? A Conversation with Workday CEO
Q: What new insights does the Human Connection Workplace Index reveal about AI's impact on productivity and burnout?
AI is associated with higher productivity and confidence, and some burnout relief, but it also raises warning flags like increased loneliness and the need for deliberate strategies to maintain human connection.
