CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/29

In today’s episode: Zoom's CEO has begun using an AI avatar to deliver information on earnings calls.

CEOs and Political Views

In today’s episode:Political labels have always been a danger zone for corporate leaders. Recently, we've seen leaders who have been liberal-leaning in the past turn friendlier to the Trump administration.

A 25% Pay Cut for Remote Work

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/22

In today’s episode:A new study shows that most people are willing to take up to a 25% pay cut if they're able to work from home. More flexibility creates more options for employees; they're more likely to stick around. This works especially well for working mothers.

Women Leaving the Workforce - Jessica on CNN

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2025/10/20

In today's episode: A larger number of women are leaving the workforce in 2025, seemingly for good. It's likely related to return-to-office mandates. When a company has more than 50% of leadership roles filled by women, they have stronger revenue growth, culture, and employee engagement. This is a real problem for the bottom line. If women are leaving the workforce at these rates, it's a red flag for the economy at large. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where

Workplace Disruptions

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

When managers handle issues with fairness, empathy, and transparent communication, trust deepens. And trust isn't a soft metric; it's directly connected to employee
