If you want practical ways to recognize the strengths, motivations, and leadership potential inside Generation Z, my new book The Future Begins with Z offers nine strategies to help you lead this generation well as they reshape the workplace. Available now wherever books are sold.
Mediocrity gets promoted. Excellence gets managed out. Competence threatens. The high performer is a mirror nobody wants to look into. So they hire the one who makes them feel safe instead.
If your AI strategy assumes "we'll just hire seniors later," you don't have a strategy. You have a countdown clock to a talent crisis. Build AI-fluent apprenticeships now, while everyone else is cutting back. #AI #Hiring #CIO #CHRO https://t.co/W7YbwP6jrL

RT AI democratization is a change management problem. CIOs must partner with CHROs on AI literacy, "vibe then verify" cultures, and on-the-job learning that turns pilots into scaled outcomes. #ChangeManagement #AI #CHRO #CIO #AIDemocratization @Star_CIO https://t.co/8OLLAWNSNL

Culture is a reflection of how the team feels about the workplace. It’s an output, not an input. I created a free PDF resource for leaders that dive into the 10 ingredients for a high-performance culture. Comment “CULTURE” and I’ll send it...
What matters far more is judgment, adaptability, and the ability to lead through uncertainty, not just where someone has worked or which titles theyve held. #Hiring #CIO #CHRO https://t.co/5Ohw7w5l2f

Most reasonable accommodations are free and easy to implement. So why do managers act like the sky is falling when they get a request? Well, let's talk about it!
Behold the automation of white collar work. This graph gives new meaning to saying “the future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed”

agree with this thesis - collapsing stack (of talent, process, and economics) in almost absurd ways in a specific vertical will birth the next generation leaders in services. these traditionally people-intensive, slow, low margin businesses will look entirely different

Important point: February was a dismal jobs report. But look closer at who is suffering the most in this frozen job market... Young people African Americans Hispanic Americans Asian Americans These are the groups that have had the biggest uptick in unemployment rates. https://t.co/zszvNZ2Xv3

Yikes. Almost every major industry group shed jobs in February.

This might be the most obnoxious job application I’ve seen in a while. Slide deck. Personality ratings. Grades from high school and college. Your current life goals. Your podcast list. Just. To. Apply. I’m surprised they didn’t ask for your Spotify Wrapped and a reference from...

Law firm recruiters: AI in hiring should open doors, not quietly close them. If a model learns from your firm’s history, it will reproduce your firm’s history. Humans still need to own the decision. #LegalRecruiting #LegalTech #AI https://t.co/GNkRwGexTH

The most qualified person in the room rarely gets the title. They ask too many questions. They flag the problems nobody wants to see. They care more about results than optics. Meanwhile the one who smiles, nods, and never rocks the boat? Corner office. This isn’t...

When it comes to GLP‑1s, many employers feel stuck between “do nothing” and “all‑in coverage.” That’s not a great set of choices, especially when they want to find a way to say yes. I’m excited that @OmadaHealth is adding a...
New rule: if you use the word “efficiency” to try and sound better/smarter/more caring than saying “layoffs” or “jobs lost,” immediate big kick in the butt. Immediate. And repeated.
Note that "exposure" here does not necessarily mean "job loss". It means AI can automate -- or is now automating -- many of the TASKS involved in a job. That CAN manifest as job loss, but it can also free...
Sorry, this is misleading to the point of being dishonest. Benefits are roughly 20% of compensation. You're saying if benefits costs didn't rise at all, wages could increase more, but benefit increases have actually lagged pay in the last year...

Most startups fail at hiring, not product. They scale headcount faster than they scale training. Lean teams stay small, ship MVPs, track metrics, and fix root issues with Five Whys before adding people. Amazon runs teams small enough to feed with two pizzas...

I've mentored over 500 designers at this point. Here are the top 5 common patterns that quietly stall growth from mid → senior level design positions. Some may surprise you.
After 100+ AI engineering interviews, here’s the pattern I didn’t expect: The strongest candidates are not the ones with the coolest projects. They’re the ones that care enough to make the boring work. Boring is good. Boring means: clear scope clear outputs clear measurement clear tradeoffs clear documentation One...

"Opinions are not feedback." Every time I say this in a workshop, I watch managers go through the five stages of grief.

Work in 2026 will be influenced less by tools and more by choices. How companies manage AI, protect people and redesign roles will define resilience. Innovation, skills and trust in complex systems will need to be aligned. @Gartner_inc Link https://t.co/Lq0hNglEvt via...
