CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel

In today's episode: For a long time, mediation was seen as a last-ditch effort to avoid a trial -- but it's now being recognized for its measurable value. Leaders often get invested in the conflict itself, rather than considering the cost to the organization that comes from remaining in a conflict. Mediation can have faster resolutions and lower cost, is confidential, and often aligns better with business objectives.

In today's episode: People are getting laid off left and right, and now they're asking for jobs. The wrong approach is to keep up shields and pretend like you're not worried about things. The right approach: be vulnerable. Be a human. Being afraid for your future doesn't mean you're incompetent.

In today's episode: Declining birth rates aren't just about affordability -- they're also a sign of uncertainty about the future. This isn't an issue that can be solved with government policies; it's about the beliefs that people have. It's a culture question. The same holds true in the business world; the speed of change has removed any predictability about the future. This is all about how we think. What future are building based on the mindset we're bringing to this moment?

In today's episode: For a second time, the Supreme Court has shut down the Trump administration's plan for 10% blanket tariffs. But the government is likely to have a plan C to bring them back. The lesson for leaders: tariffs are here to stay. More than that, variable tariffs are here to stay. Your tariff strategy needs to be one of adaptability; uncertain conditions are now the default state of the economy.

In today's episode: The recent NYT interview with Tucker Carlson is demonstrating one of Jessica's 2026 predictions -- the beginnings of a new third political party. On issues of economics and foreign policy there's a broad consensus among Americans that isn't being served by either existing party. According to Carlson, identity-based culture wars have served as a distraction from these issues of deep overlap, but they're losing prominence.

In today's episode: Listening is one of the most powerful tools in negotiation and communication. "Competitive listening" means listening so deeply that it surprises your conversation partner. When you listen with that kind of focus, conversations completely transform. Instead of preparing what you have to say next, total focus on listening requires surrender. Listening is reciprocal in nature. When you don't feel heard, that's a signal to use competitive listening.

In today's episode: People's real lives affect their working lives and productivity. The more a company supports them, the more they connect to the workplace. As Reverand Eric J. Hall explains, chaplains can be a key part of that support and care, filling a role that many organizations overlook. Spiritual care doesn't have to involve proselytizing faith--just listening and showing support.

In today's episode: Jessica and John untangle the subtle differences between a "decisions" and "choices" in the modern workplace. "Decisions" often mean choosing between bad options, while "choices" involve actively defining what matters. Decisions fatigue us, while choices tie our identities to a purpose. It's choosing what matters versus deciding what works. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.

In today's episode: Surrender doesn't mean giving up; it means letting go of the things you can't control and focusing on what you can control. People will opt into the mission if they believe in what you're trying to do; as a leader, you're best served by creating experiences that create those beliefs. Accountability doesn't have to be a bad thing. When defined as a personal choice to focus on what you can control to drive results, people become eager to take accountability.

In today's episode: Deloitte is cutting benefits like parental leave, especially for the internal roles that are most vulnerable. Is this call worth the bad press? During turbulent times, people are often too distracted to notice some of the more egregious moves by companies. The model of consulting itself has been fundamentally changed by AI. The new question is: what unique value can consultants bring that these companies can't do for themselves? There's a massive amount of information out there. The most valuable people in the economy are going to be the ones who can sort out the useful information and feed it to people who trust them.

In today's episode: We're seeing layoffs like we've never seen before, as artificial intelligence is built to replace jobs. It's changing the way we make decisions about the future. We don't kno what the economy will demand in 5, 10, or 20 years. As economies mature, they run out of certain growth opportunities; it becomes a matter of profitability rather than revenue. But that system can't hold forever without some kind of public reaction. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.

In today's episode: How often are you "surface acting" -- heightening and feigning expected emotions to meet work demands? It's a survival strategy in the workplace, but it costs us in exhaustion and reduced performance. Surface acting is different from compartmentalizing; it sacrifices authenticity. Do we have relationships that are strong enough to handle the truth? CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.

In today's episode from Jessica's appearance on Refocus with Angela Stephens: Leaders today still struggle with the new model of change management. It's more than moving from A to B; now, we need to be constantly adaptable. Fear-based leadership can lead to micromanaging and control -- but it's worth extending a little grace to people operating in a competitive, winner-take all system.

In today's episode: We're in the age of huge data; there's more of it than we know what to do with. So how do we turn it into insights? Operating in silos has been the standard in business for a long time. But breaking down information barriers is key to success in the future. AI can be used to add structure to unstructured data; it allows you to have a high-level view of everything going on within you organization.

In today's episode: Only about half of workers believe their organization is investing in the right solutions to problems in the workplace. Companies have individually well-funded components that aren't necessarily working well together. Workplace experience strategy needs to be managed alongside other strategies like real estate, people, and even IT. Workplace experience should align with a company's people strategy and its employee value proposition.

In today's episode: What happens to a company when the CEO becomes a story? That's the topic of a recent story in the Harvard Business Review When Elon Musk became the polarizing face of the Tesla brand, demand bifurcated; left-leaning consumers bough less, right-leaning consumers bought more. When Tesla started making improvements to the cars, demand overall increased. Even when people don't love what you say, they'll come back if you deliver a strong enough product. Brand authenticity matters; you can't control whether people agree with you, but you can control the quality of the product you offer.

In today's episode from Jessica's appearance on the Virtual Campfire Podcast: Usually, layoffs are conducted with a long, secretive process by executives and lasting trauma for the company. By dealing with the situation differently -- being transparent with employees about the upcoming layoffs -- things played out for the better. Some people left on their own terms; others became even more loyal to the company. And everyone was better off for the transparent approach.

In today's episode: You can give people responsiblity, but they are the ones who take accountability. KKR's model of employee ownership embodies this concept: it gives employees direct stake in the value-creation of companies, aligning incentives so everybody benefits. The playbook to developing an ownership mindset among employees: share information with everyone as if they're owners, give them the skills to understand it, and engage employees so their voices are understood.

In today's episode: The amount of information out there is causing real safety risks; distraction is literally causing people to get hurt in risky situations. When something dangerous is happening, it's almost always better to stay out of the way until it's run its course, then pick up the pieces. Great leaders are able to make the choice that prioritizes long-term safety over short-term results.

In today's episode: Often, organizations are measuring outputs rather than outcomes. They're measuring busy-ness rather than effectiveness. Fixing this requires a change in leadership approach. Organizations need to create psychological safety and allow appropriate time to achieve goals. At the same time, we shouldn't turn outcomes themselves into measurable objectives. When mission, vision, and values are aligned, the outcomes occur automatically. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.

In today's episode: Organizations define productivity through output, utilization, and efficiency. But employees define it through their experience and the experience of customers. Employees are leading with their hearts; leaders are leading with metrics. Solving this divide requires a change in how organizations organize themselves. We tend to put skilled people into boxes and don't let them out; we try to replicate manual processes with technology and get things wrong.

In today's episode: Employee engagement is at 20%. Meanwhile, 85% of workers report experiencing stress in the workplace. But people are 4 times less likely to report stress if their manager communicates effectively with them. Leaders are being measured on short-term productivity, not long-term health and culture-related metrics. Engagment is a bad measurement; what's more important for your ability to get results is the ability to activate change.

In today's episode: Unemployment remains low, AI is coming for our jobs, and labor participation is at its lowest rate since the 1960s. Is this all in perfect balance? Labor participation has been steadily decreasing over the decades; the balance feels good right now, but it's going to hurt in a few years.

In today's episode: Sports partnerships are about building relationships -- but before relationship comes strategy and analysis. That's where AI can be leveraged: sorting through vast amounts of industry data to find the underdogs and underrepresented brands that can become opportunities for a business relationship. AI can also be a force multiplier in all aspects for small startups: web design, CRM, administration, and more. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Alexis Castellano-Mugica is a former Division I soccer player at the University of Miami who was invited to train with the Venezuelan National Team and attended multiple U.S. Soccer Federation training camps. After four knee surgeries forced her to step away from playing, she transitioned into the business side of sports and built her career in global football sponsorship sales. She worked closely alongside industry leaders with experience at clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Arsenal, gaining a strong foundation in partnership strategy and dealmaking. At Inter Miami CF, she played a key role in driving over $44M+ in sponsorship revenue across multiple tiers of partnership, including contributing to a landmark $17M+ training kit deal with ERGO that will be the last training kit Lionel Messi wears before he retires. Alexis sourced that opportunity through AI. She recently stepped away from Inter Miami CF after the opening of Nu Stadium and has since launched Mugica Sports Agency, where she represents athletes and produces events with an AI-forward approach adopting the technological advances and using them to create a more efficient process. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Dr. Jessica Kriegel on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Alexis Castellano-Mugica on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   Other ways to connect: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jessica Kriegel Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jessica Kriegel Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jessica Kriegel Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Culture Partners Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Culture Partners LinkedIn

In today's episode: UKG is on the cutting edge of innovation and technology--but customers aren't seeing the same level of value. What's going on? The problem is the customer. Companies buy technology and hope it's a painless adoption process, but they fail to adapt the company to leverage new technology to the fullest. Frontline workers aren't adopting new technologies because it feels like added busywork. That's a failure of leadership to activate change. Leaders also need to understand what parts of new technology will lead to actual business results, then focus on implementing those elements.

In today's episode: CEOs at Walmart and Coca-Cola recently stepped down, citing AI as the reason for their departures. The reality is that it's probably one of many reasons. AI is both a serious force and a great scapegoat for layoffs and organizational changes. Whether it's an excuse or reality, AI as a job-replacer is going to become a more common story in coming years.

In today's episode: The field of HR is not long for this world; it's either being eliminated by AI, DEI cuts, or being moved into more relevant departments like analytics. But the right answer isn't to cut the workforce--it's more people in front of other people, shaping attitudes, values, and culture. In fields like nursing, it's these basic human interactions that provide real meaning in the world.

In today's episode: Twenty years ago, it became common wisdom that STEM was the path of the future--now, it's about the critical thinking skills that come from a liberal arts education.

In today's episode: Basware CEO Jason Kurtz explains how his SaaS company successfully adopted AI across the organization: An "AI Czar" whose only job is to research the latest in AI and bring ideas that could function across the company. Identifying the different function within the company, and tasking leaders to constantly optimize for that specific function.

In today's episode: There's talk that agentic AI will replace the SaaS model. But Basware CEO Jason Kurtz says he's not seeing it. He argues that executives are tired of experimenting with AI and seeing little returns; meanwhile, SaaS providers' share of the pie is growing. Customers would rather have an expert with a domain-specific AI, rather than a generalist "hyperscaler" who doesn't understand the industry. To survive disruption, understanding your company's "moat" -- what part of the job can AI not replicate?

In today's episode: New Gallup research shows that women in the workplace are more engaged than men, but experience higher burnout. Measing employee engagement is be the wrong method for really understanding the workforce--it emphasizes focus, rather than satisfaction or autonomy. Your ability to activate change within a company is more predictive than engagement when it comes to driving outcomes.

In today's episode: Young folks aren't reading as much as they used to. For kids, reading builds critical thinking and analytical skills. In a digital world where content, news, and misinformation can all blend together, these skills are crucial for success in life. Some advice for parents: physical books, rather than e-books or audiobooks, allow you to model reading for your kids, which makes it more likely that they'll pick up the habit as well.

In today's episode: Americans are in another debt crisis and suffering the effects of inflation over the last few years. To an extent, this is a spiritual question about how spending relates to fatigiue and a lack of meaning in our lives. The bottom line: we're in worse trouble than we were in a few years ago.

In today's episode: There's a new evolution in job interviews--people are being asked to have ChatGPT describe them based on their chat histories.

In today's episode: What's respected in one culture might be disrespected in another--it's often about alignment with cultural values that surround you. Respect and disrespect are both powerful forces; they have strong effects on people's behavior. As a leader, what are the currently-held beliefs that your team shares about you? What experiences can you create to help shift those beliefs? CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom.

In today's episode: Hesitiation and analysis paralysis can be a killer for success. The key to decision-making doesn't lie in more data--it's through our own intuition. We build our intuition by taking risks, learning the lessons, and expanding our ability to connect dots across situations. Our unconscious decisions are made based on the wealth of our experience. By bringing that awareness into our conscious mind, we can harness that experience to achieve results.

In today's episode: Cultures are built intentionally, through repetition of the beliefs you want employees and leaders to hold. Zeekr Europe's Lothar Schupet explains how keeping "Trust Squared" in mind while making decisions helped align Zeekr's governance with its stated values. One tool for building a culture through repetition: highlighting employees who have acted in accordance with a cultural belief.

In today's episode: 3,800 workers at a JBS meatpacking facility are on strike--about 17% of the company's workforce. They're calling for safety regulations and higher wages--and say they can't afford the food they're processing for the rest of America. It's another example of the K-shaped economy; more and more frontline workers can't afford the very products they help create. This is only the beginning; we're likely to see this happen across industries unless something changes soon.

In today's episode: Mandating that employees use AI isn't going to work--it falls into the action trap and leads to compliance, not adoption. Most people in long-hour jobs aren't thinking about ways that AI can make those jobs easier. They're busy keeping plates spinning. Successful AI adoption will come from zooming out and taking a slower approach; often, the best use cases for AI come in surprising places while you're trying to solve another issue.

In today's episode: Most people ignore the instructions to "lather, rinse, repeat" on their shampoo bottles, assuming it's a ploy to use more product. But in reality, it makes a difference. Our skepticism of marketing and communications could cause us to miss opportunities in our lives. Branding and marketing oversaturate every element of our lives. As leaders, it's worth asking: how much is necessary in our own workdays? How much pressure can we take off ourselves to focus on what's actually valuable?

In today's episode: It can be a useful tool to, at the start of the day, lay out the roles you're going to fulfill. This may seem like a lack of authenticity--but it can also be a powerful way to align your behavior with the person you want to be. When you also reflect on your own behaviors at the end of the day, you can start noticing the triggres that cause you to behave from fear and bad habits. Your authentic self shouldn't be static--it should always be growing and changing as a result of self-examination.

In today's episode: Jessica and John discuss the Teen Vogue article, What If Work Didn't Suck So Much? The article is implying there's a better way to lead than whatever the leaders of today are doing. John argues that when young people of today go through the career ladder and reach leadership positions, they'll find themselves doing much the same as those who came before. On the other hand, generations might be progressively improving over time in small ways; we can get better as a culture by learning from the mistakes of the past.

In today's episode: Iran targeted an Amazon data center in Bahrain--a new front in the war. The fight for AI dominance is a massive economic race on the global scale, with real consequences when things go wrong. Corporations and big tech are now part of global infrastructure, making them targets for attacks in way they never have been before.

In today's episode: All kinds of surprises and roadblocks can disturb us. But the question isn't about the disturbance itself--it's about why we are disturbable. Being disturbed comes from unmet expectations. Leaders bring the weather: people look to them for cues on how to react. When leaders are rattled, organizations follow. Being undisturbable allows you to save your energy and adapt to reality.

In today's episode: We tend to outsource authority to leaders--so in times of crisis, we look for people to give us instructions and authority. If we don't get that external validation, we feel an identity disruption, attach shame to it, and abandon ourselves for approval. But those times of crisis might actually be a chance to reevaluate--findingmeaning within ourselves, rather than waiting for someone else to give it to us.

In today's episode: We live in uncertain and difficult times; here are three key phrases to help create the right experiences in your employees. One: "Here's what I know." You can take away some of people's fears by giving them a small sense of certainty. Two: "Here's what's likely." Let people in on the broader context you have as a leader,while building trust and empathy. Three: "Here's what I don't know" or "Here's what I can't talk about yet."
