AI Can't Do All The Managers' Work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI might make management more efficient. But efficiency isn’t the same thing as leadership. In this video, I break down four parts of management I would never delegate to AI and why keeping them human matters more as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in the workplace. AI can summarize meetings, organize information, draft emails, analyze data, and take a lot of administrative work off your plate. That’s a good thing. But there are some responsibilities managers shouldn’t automate away. 00
How To Get A New Team To Work Together Fast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New team collaboration breaks for a reason that looks like something else. You inherited a team, or built one, or a reorg assembled one for you, and on paper it's the kind of group you'd point to in a leadership meeting. Six weeks in, the work is slower than it was when everyone was working alone. I've told myself the same thing you're telling yourself: they just need time.

9 Apologies Every Leader Will Have To Make (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Making mistakes is part of leadership. Knowing how to own them and apologize for them is a leadership skill most people never learn.

From owning a bad decision or broken promise to apologizing for not listening, waiting too long to act, or handling a difficult situation poorly. We’ll also cover the harder apologies: taking responsibility for your team’s mistakes, addressing painful decisions like l
The Best Leaders Aren't More Efficient, They're More Human with Caroline Webb (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The obvious response to AI eating more of the workday is to get more efficient — learn the tools, move faster, automate what you can. Caroline Webb, who's spent twenty-five years coaching leaders using cognitive and behavioral science, argues something closer to the opposite: the tasks AI still can't touch are the ones that actually decide whether you're a good leader, and most of us have never been taught to get better at them on purpose. Specificity over generality, humanity of technicality is
Leading After A Layoff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The people who lost their jobs are gone but that doesn’t mean the layoff is over for the people who stayed. Research shows that employees who survive layoffs often experience anxiety, guilt, lower morale, reduced productivity, and a loss of trust in leadership. And trying to rush everyone back to “business as usual” can make things worse. I’ll walk you through how managers can rebuild trust through honest communication and consistency, redistribute workloads without creating burnout, recognize e
