CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/12/02

In today's episode: SHRM's Chief Data and Analytics Officer recently made an AI clone of CEO Johnny C. Taylor, training it on emails and public appearances.

The SHRM Hitpiece

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/12/01

In today’s episode: Jessica and John discuss the recent Business Insider piece on SHRM -- and all the problems with the reporting.

A K-Shaped Economy

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/11/24

In today’s episode: The data is clear that we're in a K-shaped economy: there's a wealthy class that's getting richer, while lower-income Americans are struggling more and more. The loss of a middle class is coming from the push to drive profitability and reducing head count--and it's being accelerated by the rise of AI. This is an inflection point for the economy; something needs to be done. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest

2025/11/19

In today's episode: In the face of AI, AirBnB's CEO warns that it's important to continue hiring Gen Z--arguing that they're necessary for leadership in the years down the line. The job market is hard for everyone, but it's especially bad for young workers. It's a generational collapse in the training pipeline. This is a cultural story, not just an AI story.

It's a Hard Time To Be a CEO

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/11/18

In today's episode: New data shows that the average CEO's tenure is down more than a year in just the last two years. The leash is short for CEOs, and scrutiny is high. Boards seem to be betting on fresh eyes rather than familiar hands; we're entering an era of precision leadership, rather than a focus on longtime company stewards. This is likely to slow down with time. While investors have been rewarding short-term gains, CEO turnover is frequently followed by instability and culture

In today’s episode:With a lack of trust in the federal jobs report, the private sector has come up with their own analysis: the unemployment rate is 5.0%.

In today's episode: Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss ⁠⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year. If you want something to scale, you need to operationalize it. That requires constant repetition. When you've "run the play" enough times, it becomes second nature and then naturally flows.
