Everyone’s asking the wrong question about AI and jobs. The issue isn’t what AI will replace. It’s how leaders will redesign work so humans and AI create outcomes neither could achieve alone. Companies that use AI to cut costs may survive. Companies that use it to reinvent work will thrive. https://briansolis.substack.com/p/if-your-ai-strategy-starts-with-headcount
“As a manager/leader, you must consistently focus significant #leadership attention & capital on the organizational development of your team/org. Otherwise, performance capability & success will always be transient.” — https://t.co/NGK6CN9pNW #management #workplaceeffectiveness https://t.co/SMMdZpcAEj
Underrated life skill: Redesigning your role. Want to remove yourself from your business? Redesign your CEO role. List everything you touch in a week. Circle what truly requires judgment. Systemize and delegate the rest. Your new job = upholding standards...
RT @JoeContrera As a leader, what are your people observing about you that's shaping your team culture in a negative way? Is it possible you might be leaning towards the back end of a horse? Here are 9 signs you might...
Microsoft’s head of experiences and devices is retiring, triggering a shakeup. Rajesh Jha has been at Microsoft for 35 years, and his departure sees the leaders of Windows and Office promoted to report directly to Satya Nadella. Full details 👇...
AI adoption is increasing the speed at which organizations process information, evaluate risks, and act across complex operations. This shift places growing pressure on governance structures and leadership routines. Microblog @antgrasso https://t.co/BtozIiLa0Y

Culture isn’t what you say you value, it’s how people behave. Values only work when they’re written as actions, not ideals. Reward the behavior, and the culture follows. Video from Urban Land Institute (ULI) 2024 with CRE investor and creator,...
If you’re an agency owner still doing creative direction, project management, and client calls, you’re the ceiling for your business. As Michael Gerber says in The E-Myth Revisited, “If your business depends on you, you don’t own a business. You...
The best CEO advice I received throughout my career: • customer service is not a department • sales is the hardest job in any company • customer focus > competitor focus • trust is #1 core value • agency (can do) > intelligence (IQ) • adopt...
I cannot say enough good things about Donna Langley’s leadership of Universal. First and foremost, she is a superb film maker. Add to that her grace, business acumen and courage in making important decisions that have real ramifications supporting the entire...
Executives spend 23 hours/week in meetings. 67% are failures. What if you could reclaim 10 of those hours this week? https://t.co/NSN09jpDaQ
A cheap stock with a bad management team is not a good investment. Valuation means nothing if the people running the business are misallocating capital, chasing the wrong metrics, or treating the company like their personal piggy bank. I look for leaders...
AI may become one of the biggest leadership opportunities for women in decades. As AI reshapes business, the real advantage will not come from the technology alone, but from who builds the governance, sets the direction and turns capability into responsible...
@NIHDirector_Jay spoke at @UF today. I could not get a ticket or ask a question. Apparently it was about building trust, my area of communication expertise. You don't build trust taking a few prescreened questions. You take them live, answer...
The difference between successful business owners and shitty business owners: They know how to get rid of incompetent people. If you are too afraid to fire people, you will never be a good entrepreneur. 50% of humans are incompetent.
65% of founders report feeling overwhelmed regularly. You’re not bad at time management. You’re overcommitted. Here’s a 5-step fix: https://t.co/NSN09jpDaQ
I used to think multitasking was my superpower. Until I found out that multitasking is unresolved prioritization. If everything is urgent, nothing is ranked correctly. Instead, just pick one primary objective for the week. Everything else supports it or waits.
There is the boss who swings from completely absent to micro-management and I don't think we talk enough about what that hybrid creates.
You don’t have a time problem. You have a “no” problem. When you can’t say no, others run your life. Resentment builds. Relationships suffer. Friction prevails.
📘 My favorite leadership read this week. What’s on your list? 💡 A new edition of a book that details the system of transformation underlying the 14 Points for Management presented in Deming's Out of the Crisis. Helpful resource: 🔗 https://t.co/QPlT94qhvC https://t.co/vl4JdTPmtM
The 4:00 a.m. executive wake up call is a productivity myth, and it is actively driving physician burnout. As healthcare leaders and professionals, we often feel pressured to be online before dawn just to keep up with the inbox. But what...
If you don't have this problem, you're falling behind: OH: "I used to manage 10 IC engineers. Now I manage 10 engineers that each manage 10 agents. So now I'm a manager of managers... I've had to build an entire pipeline...
Barry Diller says in interview with Graham Bensinger that Paramount was mismanaged for ten years. https://t.co/5f66zaehm7 via @YouTube
Bom Kim sounds an awful lot like Bezos: “Relentless innovation fuels not only growth, but also continuous improvements in our processes and margins. We have always believed that customer experience and operational excellence can advance hand in hand.” $CPNG
I get at least one text a week from a CEO planning to cut staff. Not small companies. $20M, $200M, $400M businesses. Block just cut 40% of its workforce — 4,000 people. Gone. Harry Stebbings from 20VC is saying the same thing: at...
So I've been running workshops for Smashing Magazine for a while now, and each time I put one together I ask myself whether I'm actually teaching the right things or just covering the topics I find interesting. (Probably a bit...
It was about 10-15 years ago I started hearing about managers needing to be coaches/mentors in tech. Outliers aside, this was a terrible expectation to set up. Managers rarely have the skillset/time for this and even if they do, there are too...
AI is reshaping which leaders get hired, promoted, or replaced. Are you telling a powerful AI impact story about your work? #AI #Career https://t.co/mIefOcbMM8
This is why you need to learn how to "manage up". I personally follow one rule: praise in public, criticize in private. If I have something good to say, I say it in front of the whole team. If I...
"High performance" is one of the most abused terms in business. It's vague enough to mean anything. Boards love it because it sounds strategic. Senior leaders love it because it gives them cover to fire people fast and call it...
Toussaint Louverture led a slave revolt in Haiti in the 1700s and won. He led a revolution and established a new government. I’m almost certain that, over the tens of thousands of years that slavery has existed, this is...
A pattern I've noticed: A lot of founders say they want freedom. But what they protect most is control. Learning to let go is the real work.

From Surviving to Thriving: Positive #Leadership in the Aftermath of Trauma @ABPsychologists https://t.co/Hf1Xgv5lfH #HCM #HRM #HumanResources #HRTech #CHRO #FutureofHR
For a long time great advice for founders was “don’t try to innovate on basic organizational practices.” The roles you need, executive jobs, ratios, spend in each area, and operational methods are kind of known in major classes of company....
We tend to romanticize power as something dramatic—the decisive strike, the show of force, the unilateral move that changes the board. But Mandela's insight cuts against every instinct of the action-biased leader. He suggests that the ultimate leverage is not...
I wrote about Bluesky's CEO switch. Jay Graber deserves lasting credit for building a big and bustling community. But the challenges ahead of the company are significant: https://www.platformer.news/bluesky-ceo-change-graber/
“Some orgs. are deploying AI w/out a clear sense of the benefits it will bring—b/c they’re driven by herd mentality. They may end up w/ employees who are more productive yet their organizational contribution is unchanged.” 🔗 https://t.co/5j1dKP8sIs #leadership #management #HR https://t.co/48qplP9WO3
The holding company that almost no one talks about, yet it might be one of the most efficient compounding engines. RÖKO owns 29 niche, traditional businesses, runs at 21% margins, generates 14.5% returns on capital, and keeps acquiring new companies every...
I named something in 2015. Called it Infectious Enthusiasm. Turns out I was only describing half of it. The other half took 11 years of watching founders use it well and badly to actually understand. Here's the truth about reality distortion.
Early in my leadership years I was told the devops team was frustrated and felt disrespected by the dev team (I was director of dev at the time). I was blindsided and took it seriously, researching email/slack conversations, talking to...
"What won't you build?" has always been the most important question. Knowing what you'll say no to is always more useful than knowing what you'll say yes to. This is true with most everything. Who won't you hire? Which company or client...
Someone asked me: How did you share bad news without getting fired? Here’s the truth: I took responsibility—no fluff, no blame game. Examine the factors that contributed to the outcome with transparency, data, and lessons learned. Most leaders won’t fire...
From bid adjusts to the board room. What does it really look like for one person to execute with the capacity of an entire team. Meet Anmar, join him for a day: https://t.co/3HFBm3qZ8k
Interim Leadership: Co-founder and Managing Director Rahul Bhatia will take immediate charge of the airline’s management while the board searches for a permanent successor.
I've noticed something about the organizations that tend to bring me in for optimization and strategy work. They're almost always in some state of chaos. Restructures still working their way through the system. New leadership with new priorities. Strategic pivots that...
Jeff Bezos on how to run effective meetings by adopting a writing culture. Read to improve your writing. Write to improve your thinking. https://t.co/D4cOCgUMtY
This morning's BioNTech news strikes me as very odd. Certainly, founder Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci shouldn't feel compelled to run the company forever, and they may not be the right people to manage both the continued decline of Covid-19...
"I never give a score of 5." This is what one of my managers told me once as we started our annual review. Not exactly the motivation that I was expecting, and the more she tried to justify it, the...
