    ChatGPT != Strategy

    ChatGPT != Strategy

    Should ChatGPT be core to your product and people strategies? Or is it little more than "word-salad-as-a-service"? This week we're talking large language models--why they're piquing the interest of executive stakeholders, hiring managers, and software developers.

    What Do Managers Do?

    Whew! It's been a minute since our last episode. Business has been... busy... But in our first episode of season two, we're tackling whether managers are the right kind of busy.

    Quiet Quitting

    Quiet Quitting

    It seems like people can't quit talking about quiet quitting. In this episode we suggest why the phrase should phase out in favor of more robust conversations about performance management. We will also address a listener's question about standing out in the remote workplace.

    "It's Still Good!"

    "It's Still Good!"

    Last episode, we cautioned against replacing reality with a mental model. This week, we push this admonition further into the territory of abductive reasoning. We share why everyone--executives especially--can benefit from solution conjecture. We also explain the difference between executive coaches and yes-people.

    Totally Toxic

    Totally Toxic

    Toxic behaviors in the workplace are insidious. More insidious still is the failure to respond to them with mechanisms of accountability. In this episode, we discuss how managers can provide feedback on toxic behaviors without becoming mired in the terms set by toxicity's totalizing worldview.
