Yet in Seattle, kids have always gone to school in the dark some times during the year: Per The Seattle Times: "Permanent daylight saving could nearly triple dark school commutes in WA The researchers behind a new study say the extra dark commutes would put kids at risk for road accidents and mess with their internal clocks." #DaylightSaving

#Meta trying to discredit @JonHaidt because his research proved social media usage has hurt children is not only dark, it shows the lengths Meta's leadership will go to prop up usage of Facebook and Instagram no matter the cost and harm to society. theguardian.com/technology/2… #Leadership #Technology #SocialMedia #Business

According to an AP-NORC poll, only 12%of Americans support the current system of falling back in time in November and springing forward in March. While we all agree on the problem, we disagree on the solution. 56% prefer Permanent Daylight Saving Time (providing more light in the evening). 42% prefer Permanent Standard Time (providing more light in the morning). #WellBeing

Hello from Washington DC where I’m speaking today at General Dynamics Information Technology. Combining the live audience with employees around the world watching virtually, it’s an audience of over 3,000 people! Wish me well!

Sincerely honored to have been interviewed by Executives Diary -- rather thorough piece explains what I'm up to with my work! #Leadership #HR #SHRM #Business #Management #FutureOfWork #WellBeing buff.ly/4B35HKX

#GenZ social workers in California: your voice can help shape the future of #socialwork! I’m supporting UMASS Global doctoral candidate Carol Taylor’s study on motivation and job satisfaction. If you’re 18+ and born between 1997–2012, please take the anonymous survey now: buff.ly/jfgwV66

Microsoft announced 60,000 employees (H-U-G-E) are eligible for voluntary exits as the company doubles, triples and quadruples its investment in #AI. The firm is effectively laying off all these people, but the difference is the company is making a broad offer and letting employees choose whether to leave or not. I applaud this. Says MSFT: "The Voluntary Exit Offer reflects an important part of how we’re evolving our approach to change: creating greater flexibility and, where possible, more ways for employees to shape their next chapter." #Leadership #HR #Management #Layoffs

#AI Is Clearly Eliminating A Lot Of Jobs; But So Far, Not A Bloodbath. New Pantheon Macroeconomics says artificial intelligence is already killing 10,000-plus jobs per month in the US. They believe 9% of jobs in accounting, advertising, office admin, legal services are now slowly disappearing. #FutureOfWork #Layoffs #Business #Work #Management #Leadership

Why Building Skills & Taking On Different Assignments Pays Off: As #AI forces companies to rethink everything from job design to workforce size, CEOs want their #CHRO to help architect that transformation. They need leaders who can determine which functions to automate, which skills to invest in, and how to reorganize their workforces without undermining productivity or growth. Per Fortune, a new study shows only 1-in-4 are capable of becoming an “enterprise CHRO,” with capabilities spanning AI, automation, CEO advising, ethics, succession, and workforce planning. Almost none of all sitting CHROs have backgrounds in strategy consulting, product, or engineering—the very things CEOs now want. #Leadership #HR #Career #SHRM #Business

I believe #workplace leaders have a profound influence on how people experience their lives at work—and that this influence has consequences for their #WellBeing, their willingness to contribute, their relationships with colleagues, and ultimately organizational performance. For me, caring about people isn't an alternative to achieving #business results. It's an essential part of achieving them sustainably. #Leadership #EmployeeWellBeing #LeadFromTheHeart #FutureOfWork #HR #Management

But #AI Needs No Guardrails Or Oversight? 36% of AI executives at organizations with $1 Billion+ in revenue experienced an AI related incident that led to data loss, financial damage, brand damage or operational disruptions. Our lack of prudence in #leadership and trust in #technology firms is astounding. buff.ly/aUP4bUc

“What’s absolutely unforgivable is the financial benefit top #management people get for laying off people. There is no excuse for it. No justification. This is morally and socially unforgivable, and we will pay a heavy price for it.” ~ Peter Drucker #Layoffs #CSuite #Leadership #Business #WellBeing #LeadFromTheHeart

I want companies to make a major commitment to ensuring their employees are thriving and flourishing, not just whether they’re motivated enough to put effort into their jobs. We need to move away from #engagement and toward #WellBeing. I want companies to ask more meaningful questions about employees’ lived experiences, and I want leaders to take responsibility for the answers. #Leadership #HR #LeadFromTheHeart #EmployeeWellBeing #FutureOfWork

To me, this stands on its own. #Leadership #LeadFromTheHeart #WellBeing #Management #HR
