Season 2
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. In response to a listener's question, we'll be discussing what many managers do all day--and what they should be doing instead.

Season 1
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.

Big Manager is Watching
We're back from a summer break, rested and ready to talk productivity. Join us as we discuss the key difference between production and productivity. We'll also tackle the problem with productivity apps as employed by McGregor's dreaded "Manager X."

"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.
