CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/19

In today's episode: In the social media age, companies no longer have a firewall between their public image and their internal workings. A company's brand is an external manifestation of its culture. Messy branding--like we're seeing with HBO--is a sign of trouble within a company's culture.

The Cognitive Cost of Proactivity

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/16

In today's episode:Proactivity at work has many benefits; it increases meaning, engagement, and change. But that proactivity has a real cognitive cost. Change produces fatigue.

Consciously Unbossing - Jessica on CNN

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/15

In today's episode:Increasingly, employees are opting out of the management leadership track. And it's not because they're lazy. Some people have been the victims of bad leadership; they've seen leaders be inauthentic or too controlling, and they're choosing to put their energy elsewhere. The rise of AI has caused companies to cut middle management and decentralize leadership, but accountability is still crucial. Leaders need to be creating clarity, alignment, and accountability

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/14

In today's episode, we explore three levels of corporate messages regarding AI-based changes within the company:The inauthentic message from Duolingo's leadership is a great example of what not to do--a muddled message about replacing people with AI while also claiming to be people-first. Shopify's CEO took a hardcore approach, committing to AI and expecting every level of the business to adopt that perspective. Fiverr's messaging was brilliantly authentic: acknowledging the risks of AI

Fairness in an Organization

2025/05/13

In today's episode:ABM's Raul Valentin focuses on the value of fairness and equal opportunity. Consistency in policy across all levels of an organization allows everyone an opportunity to excel.

What the Pope Can Teach Us About Succession Planning

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/12

In today's episode, we get some lessons on succession planning from the Catholic Church: In these permanently uncertain times, stability is a leadership asset. The Vatican's well-defined system provides a smooth transition. Culture outlasts charisma. An organization's belief systems need to be codified if they're going to survive. There's safety in consensus. Consensus leadership has its pros and cons, but there are times where it's critical. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute

What Do Employers and Employees Owe To Each Other?

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/09

In today's episode:Workers and businesses alike tend to think they're entitled to more than they actually are from each other. In an era of deteriorating trust, the reality is that nobody should expect more than what's stipulated by laws and contracts. To get what they want, all parties need to create experiences that shape the beliefs of their negotiating partners. In other words, excellence provides leverage.

Investment Banking Work-Weeks

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/08

In today's episode:Investment banking has a culture of long hours and pushing people to the brink; a recent article noted that Baird has a norm of 110-hour work weeks. Ultimately, people know the demands of what they're signing up for in these fields; it's a huge amount of money with high stakes. Not everyone has the privilege to make decisions about money versus work-life balance and other personal values. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the

2025/05/07

In today's episode from the This Week in Culture Newsletter:Jessica reflects on "Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts on the Sixties" by David Horowitz and Peter Collier. The book discusses how both men's ideologies shifted radically throughout their lives--and the experiences that led to those changes. Beliefs aren't changed by rousing speeches and debates; they're changed by experiences and moments felt by people. The healthiest corporate cultures leave room for changing minds and

Performance Evaluations and Authenticity

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/06

In today's episode: Google is changing compensation to reward high performers; but metrics for judging "high performance" are always subjective. Calibration sessions can help, but they can also reveal some ugly biases. John and Jessica discuss how group evaluations can feel like a tribunal and quickly become unhelpful.

The April Jobs Numbers - Jessica on LiveNow FOX

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/05

In today's episode: The April jobs report was solid; but it may not capture much of the fallout from President Trump's tariffs. In times of big change, companies don't necessarily start with layoffs; they'll begin by holding hiring and adjusting strategy. Culture Partners research shows that an important factor in success is the ability to adapt quickly. It's important for leaders to surrender what they can't control; by focusing on what they can control, they'll be able to pivot in

The World is Surrendering to Climate Change

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/05/01

In today's episode:A NYT opinion piece by essayist David Wallace-Wells talks about how world leaders are "surrendering" to climate change by accepting defeat before the battle is over. By contrast, a good leader surrenders the illusion of control while taking accountability for everything within their control. In the case of the climate, there's still plenty that leaders can do to make a difference. We can surrender the expectation that any one person can solve the larger problem, but

Change Management Is Dead. Long Live Change Leadership

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/04/30

In today's episode:The world is changing too fast for discrete change management "efforts" to succeed. Change is a constant. Change is about the "skill, will, and hill" -- knowledge, employee desire, and the external roadblocks that stand in the way. Executives grossly overestimate change willingness in employees, as compared to middle managers. Change fatigue is a persistent problem. Clarity, alignment, and accountability are key to the solution. CEO Daily Brief is a daily,

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/04/29

In today's episode: Kelli Valade, CEO of Denny's, explains her philosophy that a leader's most important job is to make people feel seen. Her early experiences in the restaurant industry exposed her to a second family who invested in her welfare; she also found restaurants are a place where people come to be seen. Later in her career, a small gesture of connection from Kelli's team allowed her to connect with her birth parents--a perfect example of the power of human

A New Executive Order on Workplace Discrimination

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/04/28

In today's episode: A new executive order basically revokes the disparate impact theory: discrimination is only judged on intentions, not outcomes. The legal liability for discrimination is going down, but that may not change the cultural and societal consequences that come from removing DEI and other programs. Ultimately, this will be a test of strategy and leadership: in the absence of a legal threat, what beliefs do leaders have about discrimination and diversity? Which companies

Houston, We Have a Culture Problem

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/04/23

In today's episode: The hype over last week's Blue Origin space mission got a slew of criticism for being spectacle over substance. We see a similar focus on spectacle in attempts at culture change, too. But people recognize inauthenticity in their bones. Culture change is about slow, consistent progress. It requires leaders to focus on what they can change within themselves to shift the beliefs of those around them. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the

Authenticity and Generative AI

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/04/22

In today's episode: People are still in the habit of "please" and "thank you" to ChatGPT; they're obeying the rules of politeness without actually meaning it. ChatGPT and other large-language models are echo chambers with a population of just ourselves. There's an erosion of authenticity in society generally, which AI is accelerating.
