All careers have highs and lows, and scope reductions can be particularly challenging. You may feel like immediately handing in your resignation or retreating and disengaging. It’s natural, but neither response is helpful. Your manager and coworkers are watching how you respond, making it even more critical to approach this difficult situation with composure and pragmatism.

Many efforts to build an AI ethics program miss an important fact: ethics differ from one cultural context to the next. Ideas about right and wrong in one culture may not translate to a fundamentally different context, and even when there is alignment, there may well be important differences in the ethical reasoning at work — cultural norms, religious tradition, etc. — that need to be taken into account.

Transcript Hi there, it’s Peter Winick. I’m the founder and CEO at Thought Leadership Leverage, and here’s the idea I want to share with you today, and that’s this: ideas do not lead to outcomes. That sounds a little bit depressing if you’re a thought leader, academic, advisor, etc. It’s ideas plus execution that lead to the outcomes.
Speaker: Jeremy York
2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
