2025/08/13

In today's episode:Companies have been using AI to screen applicants for years; the difference is that now applicants are using it, too. Anyone who claims to know the full impact of AI on the workforce has an agenda; the truth is, it's still an open question. College grads are having a hard time finding jobs because entry-level positions have been the easiest to automate. Applicants can only find a leg up with some kind of human touch, like a referral.

Jobless Claims and the Jobs Reports - Jessica on...

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/08/11

In today's episode: Many CEOs are pausing; not too much hiring or firing as they're waiting to see what happens with inflation, AI, and tariffs. Maintaining adaptaibility is key to success in ever-changing circumstances. We're also seeing a huge need for alignment at the executive level. 212,000 women have left the workforce this year--that's a reflection of reduced flexibility and return-to-office mandates. Wages haven't kept up with inflation, but productivity has gone up. People are

The Jobs Report Controversy

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/08/07

In today’s episode: The firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is going to have a damaging effect on the economy.

The trick is to ignore the jobs report from this month; pay attention to the report from six months ago, once the data has settled. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we

Conscious Capitalism

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/08/06

In today's episode: Conscious capitalism is an apolitical movement that's trying to make capitalism work for all. It has four tenets: First, a higher purpose.

Third, conscious leadership. It's about how leaders show up and hold themselves accountable. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs

The Revised Jobs Numbers - Jessica on Bloomberg Radio

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/08/04

In today's episode: The newly-revised jobs numbers don't look good. Growth is slowing, and business investments are down. Most Americans have felt the economy is getting worse--and now we have the numbers to show for it. President Trump's pressure on the Fed is working against him; its need to appear impartial means it might take longer to lower interest rates. It's hard to get an exact idea of who's to blame for bad circumstances. But leaders should be focusing on taking

CEO Pride in the Shrinking Workforce

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/31

In today’s episode: There's been a shift this year in the language around layoffs. Companies aren't just unapologetic about cuts, but pointing to them as accomplishments in the AI era. Transparency is a good thing. These decisions have always been happening--now that they're being made openly, employees can better prepare. Leaders need to make tough decisions for the sake of the whole organization. Employees, in turn, aren't totally helpless--they'll be able to chart their own career

The CEO Gig Economy

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/30

In today’s episode:The position of "interim CEO" is becoming increasingly common. In a world where layoffs are always seen as a bad decision, it becomes tempting to use a "disaster CEO" to make the painful decisions. But this can hurt a sense of transparency. An interim role is that it can tell the wrong story to employees. If executive leadership is constantly changing, culture suffers.

AI Safety and the Future

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/29

In today's episode: To understand the future of AI, Jessica has been reading AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable by Roman Yampolskiy. Since it's not human, AI is in some ways unpredictable. That could be a bad thing, but it may also free it from predictable human impulses. We tend to operate from a place of fear and resource-hoarding, even when it can be counterproductive in modern organizations. AI may operate from a different, more collaborative basic principle.

DEI Is Sticking Around

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/28

In today's episode:This month, shareholders in some of the country's largest companies voted against anti-DEI proposals. The market knows that DEI is good for business.

Ten-Year Tech Contracts

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/25

In today’s episode: In a world of rapidly changing technology, why are some companies signing up for ten-year contracts with a single tech company? It might be a lack of accountability; the person making the decision for short-term gain won't be around to see the negative consequences for the company. The leaders who drive the strongest results are the ones who can sacrifice short-term pleasure for long-term gain. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we

2025/07/24

In today’s episode: According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. economy is "regaining its swagger" --but, at the same time, "economic clouds" are gathering.

In today’s episode:We're at an inflection point for inflation; if things don't get under control soon, Americans are going to feel it.

The Modern State of Retirement

In today’s episode: Older Americans are being laid off in their fifties and sixties, before they're financially or emotionally ready to ready. That's forcing many into an awkward late-stage pivot.

Tax Laws and Business Behavior

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/18

In today’s episode:The problem with not taxing overtime wages: it cuts jobs. High performers collect the overtime, while low performers lose their positions. In the short-term, this is good for businesses. In the long-term, it's taking people out of the workforce, consumers out of the economy, and creating a larger population on welfare. There's danger in moving quickly without thinking through the implications. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we

The War for Talent Is Over

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/07/17
