We’ve thrown the entire pantry at employee engagement from hot yoga to free snacks to branded hoodies, and somehow, people are still checking out. In today’s Leadership Spark, we call out the broken cycle of gimmicky engagement strategies and look at what actually drives loyalty, performance, and retention in the modern workplace. Spoiler: it’s not about giving people more stuff. It’s about giving them something to believe in. We’ll unpack why smart companies are ditching the perks arms race and building something better: a workplace that feels like an experience, not a transaction. If you're tired of short-term fixes and ready to build real culture, press play. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman . Here’s a good question for you: Who in your marketing department is a flight risk? How about: Where are your talent or skills gaps? Or: Which employees make up your next generation of leaders? If you couldn’t answer any of these, then you need to check out Human Intelligence™, from Workhuman . By combining AI with the rich data of their #1 rated employee recognition platform, Human Intelligence unlocks insights and capabilities that redefine talent management, cultural transformation, and employee engagement.

Building Smarter Organizations Through the Human-AI Partnership with McKinsey Senior Fellow Dr. Michael Chui 55:13

AI is becoming more powerful and autonomous. What we once thought was a future trend is now reshaping how organizations are operating today. But the biggest risk of AI isn't replacement. More likely, it's reliance. Are you prepared for what's coming? In today's episode, Dr. Michael Chui, Senior Fellow at McKinsey and QuantumBlack AI, reveals how AI is rewriting the rules of competition, leadership, and even hiring structure. You’ll learn why over-relying on AI can erode human judgment and creativity, how to build organizations that balance human decision-making with machine efficiency, and why managing AI agents will soon be as important as managing people. Dr. Chui shares how leaders can prevent “silent automation” from taking over their teams, what skills future managers must develop (including prompt engineering and oversight), and how companies can redesign roles, workflows, and organizational structures to thrive in the era of agentic AI. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Sparks: It’s Okay to be Human: How Leaders Can Turn Vulnerability Into a Superpower 10:37

۷ روز پیش10:37

10:37

Most leaders think vulnerability is risky, but avoiding it is far riskier. Despite all the research and talk about authenticity, only 11% of companies view vulnerability as a leadership strength—and 84% of employees rarely, if ever, see it practiced. That’s a problem. In today’s Leadership Spark, we explore what happens when leaders embrace vulnerability, and what’s lost when they don’t. Backed by my research across thousands of employees and organizations, you'll uncover in this episode how leading with vulnerability isn’t just about being authentic. It’s a strategy for building trust, connection, and lasting impact. You'll also learn how to balance confidence with openness, and why your team might be waiting for you to go first in being vulnerable. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Sparks: The Hidden Danger of Separating Leadership from Management (And how to truly bridge the gap) 11:17

14 روز پیش11:17

We’ve made a huge leadership mistake and chances are, your organization is still making it. We’ve separated managers and leaders like they’re different species. One is focused on processes. The other on people. But that separation might be the very thing keeping your teams disengaged and your company stuck. In today’s Leadership Spark, I’m busting the outdated myth that leadership and management are two separate roles. I share a powerful story of a nuclear submarine captain that perfectly illustrates what happens when we train leaders to lead but forget to teach them how to manage. You’ll hear why giving managers leadership training won’t fix your ‘people’ problem and why the opposite approach just might. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Are you a Chief Human Resource Officer trying to find a meaningful and affordable peer group that's NOT stuck in the past? I'm glad you found this episode because you're about to discover a CHRO community that's building the future of work as we speak. After speaking with over 100 CHROs for my book on employee experience, I kept hearing the same frustrations about existing groups with overpriced memberships, bloated conferences, constant sales pitches, outdated content, and a total lack of real value. So I decided to do something about it. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on "Future of Work Leaders," a new community built for CHROs, by CHROs. It’s an intimate group focused on one thing only: insight-rich conversations for forward-thinking CHROs like you. If you're a CHRO who's done playing by old rules and wants to connect with other future-ready leaders from companies like Johnson & Johnson, Northrop Grumman, Dow, Amway, and more, consider this your invite. ________________ Start your day with the world’s top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Why Hybrid Work Is Here to Stay and What the Research Says with Dr. Nicholas Bloom 59:30

Everyone’s arguing about remote vs. in-office. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question all along? Dr. Nicholas Bloom, Professor of Economics at Stanford and the world’s most cited expert on hybrid work, joins to set the record straight—and clear up the way his research is being misquoted everywhere. In this episode, he debunks the biggest myths about remote work, explains why hybrid work has become the go-to model for most Fortune 500 companies, and breaks down what’s really behind Amazon and Jamie Dimon’s return-to-office moves. We also get into why AI is more likely to replace fully remote roles than hybrid ones, what most people misunderstand about productivity from home, and the three-part formula every leader should follow to make hybrid work sustainable and effective. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Sparks: The Power of the Follow-Up: How Checking In After Conversations Can Turn Teams Into SUPER Teams 7:23

In leadership, what happens after the conversation often matters just as much as the conversation itself. Just like in sports, where athletes chase their missed shots to score on the rebound, leaders can recover from missteps by following up. Yet, many professionals leave these moments hanging, allowing misunderstandings to fester and opportunities for growth to slip away. In today's Leadership Spark, we explore why follow-up is a critical yet often overlooked tool for leaders. Checking in after a conversation can resolve misunderstandings, build trust, and create opportunities for growth. By taking the extra step to ensure your message is received as intended, you turn potential setbacks into learning moments. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Remote work might be convenient, but it’s not the game-changer people think it is. If you want to grow, succeed, and actually build a career, you need to show up. That’s the message from David Sable, former CEO of Young & Rubicam and Vice Chairman at Stagwell, who believes employees should beg to be in the office—not fight against it. In this episode, David breaks down why in-person work still matters and busts the myth of remote productivity. He highlights that the best leaders won’t waste time proving to employees why they should be there. We also tackle the real impact of office culture, why career development suffers without it, and how mentorship, collaboration, and serendipity shape long-term success. You’ll discover all the reasons why leaders need to stop caving to employee demands and start running businesses the way they know they should. If you’re wondering how to future-proof your career or just trying to understand why so many leaders are pushing back on remote work this episode is for you. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman .

Remote work offers convenience and flexibility, but can it truly foster the leadership development needed to excel? While virtual environments allow for increased productivity, they often fall short in cultivating the deeper skills that come from observing, interacting, and learning in person. In today’s Leadership Spark, we explore why in-person presence remains essential for aspiring leaders. Gain insights into how face-to-face interactions with senior leaders, casual conversations, and observing real-time decision-making can accelerate leadership growth. For those with ambitions to advance, showing up when others choose to stay remote may provide a unique competitive advantage.

Most people see investing as just stocks and numbers, but the world’s greatest investors approach it differently. Their biggest lessons go beyond money—they're about how to think, make smarter decisions, and live a richer life. William Green, bestselling author of Richer, Wiser, Happier, has interviewed over 50 legendary investors, including Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, and Sir John Templeton. Along the way, he’s uncovered powerful insights that apply not just to investing but to leadership, business, and personal growth. In this episode, William shares what leaders can learn from investors about making better decisions, avoiding costly mistakes through inversion thinking, and applying the power of compounding to knowledge, relationships, and habits. He reveals why mastering emotions matters more than mastering money, why intuition is just as critical as data, and how knowing your circle of competence helps you focus on playing games you’re equipped to win and knowing your limits. We also explore how ethical leadership isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a long-term advantage, and long-term success is often tied to integrity, self-awareness, and learning from both wins and failures. ________________ Start your day with the world’s top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
