CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel

In today's episode, Jessica discusses her takeaways from the Sacramento Business Journal's Inclusivity in Business Awards Ceremony: Plenty of leaders still believe in DEI on principle and from ROI, but the political consequences are causing people to stay quiet. Diversity in thought at the leadership level drives results--no matter what it's called. Data is powerful and stories affect people; together, they can move the needle.

In today's episode: Enrollment in trade schools is going up; American culture is growing more accepting of the trades as a career path. As CEOs are trying to predict the ever-changing future, so are young people entering the job market. The trades are safe from AI in the short term, but we still need long-term solutions to handle the future landscape of work.

In today's episode: Boeing's culture has seen a turnaround. The key to success has been an emphasis on feedback. Focused feedback starts with positive feedback that recognizes someone for demonstrating the cultural belief you're trying to shift toward, and highlighting how it contributes to results. Then, shift to constructive feedback, starting with "here's how you might demonstrate that belief even more..."

In today's episode: The magic of growth and adaptability lies in people skills; building the right team for the current situation. Leaders need to surround themselves with people who want to be on the same journey with them. Everyone wants to grow their company, but not everyone wants to do the work it takes to grow successfully.

In today's episode: Fortune's latest report shows increasing CEO pessimism. The threat of tariffs will always be present under President Trump; uncertainty is now the name of the game. Leaders and companies need to develop the muscle of being adaptive. Surrender is key; focus on what you can control.

In today's episode: Values and culture can coexist. Values are a non-negotiable about who we are; culture is about sustained behavioral change. Cultural beliefs don't have to stay forever; they can respond to changing situations, while values are permanent. Leaders need to amplify the beliefs that do lead to results; provide specific feedback that highlights the cultural belief that you want to see more of.

In today's episode from the This Week in Culture newsletter: Alignment is a perishable asset; in this fast-paced business world, that shelf life is shorter than ever. Some signs of misalignment: constant reprioritizing, conflicting KPIs across departments, and the "meeting after the meeting." Alignment requires consistent effort: weekly check-ins, scoreboards, and recognizing behaviors that aligned with what you're trying to achieve.

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.

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. Leaders need to build that cost into their thinking. Build in more breaks, schedule proactive time, and make it safe to experiment.

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 around purpose, strategy, and culture.

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 job replacement at every level, and a shared commitment to tackling that reality.

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. At the same time, fairness can be subjective. There's no one-size-fits-all answer for any policy problem.

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.

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.

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.

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 adaptation. When people can't question the path they're on, they either burn out or break away.

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.

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 changing circumstances.

In today's episode: Brand and culture are fundamentally intertwined. Connecting people to a brand's big-picture purpose can both serve a mission and drive results. For Denny's, the purpose is to feed people--body, mind, and soul. The company can use those three criteria to make business decisions with a clear direction.

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 we can still take responsibility for the influence we still wield.

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.

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 connection.

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 will do best in the long run?

In today's episode: If the China tariffs continue, loads of everyday products--like makeup--will become twice as expensive. These small-scale impacts will happen everywhere.

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.

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.

In today's episode: In the face of hardship, convicted leadership means taking a risk; compliant leadership absorbs difficult circumstances without rocking the boat. Both are valid paths. Neither choice should come from impulse or anger; it should be a calculated decision based on the stakes and values of a particular company. It's worth asking, as a leader: how often do I rely on one tool or another? How often does each come from a place of instinctive anger versus mental clarity?

In today's episode: Monique Robertson Gunter explains how she helped Wellby Financial build a culture where employees felt their feedback would be heard and implemented. She took regular feedback meetings, wrote lots of notes, and framed the conversation to create the belief that her follow-up questions came from curiosity, not defensiveness. By surrendering to collective knowledge and experiences of the workforce, Wellby's leaders were able to build a culture that continually improves. Accountability started from the top-down.

In today's episode: Your top talent knows they're top talent; they have leverage, even if leadership doesn't acknowledge it directly. In volatile, inflationary times, everyone is feeling the pressure; now is a good time to revisit compensation strategies.

In today's episode: Jessica talks about Greg Satell's new article - We Need to Break the Disruption Mindset Workers are tired of the Silicon Valley-esque obsession with disruption.

In today's episode: Worker confidence is lower than leadership confidence, and it's declining faster. There are three root causes: ambiguity around AI and the economy, erosion of workplace culture, and stagnation leading to a lack of innovation.

In today's episode: President Trump's long-term strategy with tariffs is to bring back American manufacturingg. In the short term, manufacturing will shut down across America as companies put a hold on shipping goods.

In today's episode: We're living in a time of constant changes; the best way to survive is to be flexible. This pairs with the research Culture Partners did with Stanford: an adaptable culture proved to outperform any specific culture type. When conditions shift, strategies shift. When strategies shift, culture needs to shift to meet the new needs. When culture fails to change, a company stagnates.

In today's episode: Jessica and John react to the sweeping tariffs President Trump announced last week, and the market nosedive that we've seen since. The tariffs have set the world into an "us versus them" situation; the rest of the world is going to start making deals and alliances without the input of the US. It's not clear what the plan is; and as citizens, it's important to keep asking for details to stay informed.

In today's clip from one of Jessica's keynotes: If it seems like somebody isn't bought into the company's mission, there's an easy fix: ask. If they're not bought in, then learn what experiences they would need to acquire the beliefs you want. Subcultures are natural within a company. Internal diversity of thought can often be a strength. Company cultures can help people self-actualize. With that kind of mindset, organizations can achieve results and help people flourish at the same time.

In today's episode from Merit TV: Last week, RFK Jr. announced large cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services--amid big cuts across Washington. Lives are impacted by big job cuts, but a leader's job is to figure out their purpose, strategy, and how to create clarity, alignment, and accountability around those things.

In today's episode with special guest, Andrew Collier: Deals aren't about dominance. There's a power in acknowledging the beliefs and positions of other people.

In today's episode with special guest, Andrew Collier: One of the biggest mistakes that leaders can make is to forget their humanity in pursuit of results. At a basic level, deals are still made between people who need to like and trust each other. When people interact authentically--no matter how different they are--that shared humanity is the foundation for collaboration that can create long-term results.

In today's episode from Merit TV: AI is coming in all fields: manufacturing, knowledge work, organization, and leadership. With an abundance mindset, we can use that change to benefit all people.

In today's clip from one of Jessica's keynotes: Experiences shape your company's culture. The most powerful real experiences: Storytelling, Recognition, and Feedback. Every week, if you share one story, give two people recognition, and give or receive three pieces of feedback, you can take concrete steps to reinforcing the culture that you want. Even better, start to incorporate the specific beliefs, actions, and results that your company is driving toward.

In today's episode: Employee ownership is a great way to get company-wide alignment, but it's not the only tool. Alignment can come from storytelling, reinforcing mission-aligned behaviors, and other experiences throughout an employee's tenure. Leaders control the experiences of their employees; those experiences create a culture where employees are aligned and drive results. In times of distress, comms and timing are important--but culture is created every day.

In today's episode: The action trap destroys innovation and creativity. The key to avoiding the action trap is realizing that employees are people driven by their underlying beliefs--not just directives from leadership. Those beliefs are powerful drivers of action. Some experiences are unavoidably bad, and will end up associated with leadership no matter what happens.

In today's episode: In recessions, some companies panic and some try to take advantage of the situation. It turns out, the best approach was to do nothing at all. The panic of a crisis can lead to compliance, as employees try to retain their jobs by not rocking the boat. But compliance isn't the same thing as alignment. They key is to avoid the action trap--overloading on actions without being focusing on fundamental experiences and beliefs.

In today's episode: KKR's Pete Stavros explains some of the CEO pushback to employee shared ownership models--including the fact that it can seem like an overwhelming change.

In today's episode: KKR's Pete Stavros explains why he believes employee shared ownership can help solve the inequality and unhappiness in our workforce. The ESOP movement has been around for decades, but the concept is still not well-known. While hourly wages disincentivize productivity, employee shared ownership aligns the incentives of employees with the business. When done right, people and profits both do better.
