Episode 10 - Steve Cadigan, Former LinkedIn CPO & Best Selling Author of WORKQUAKE - joins us for a look at how PEOPLE are the KEY to successful AI in this new work model.

You already know Steve Cadigan is “the goto source” when it comes to questions about leadership, talent, culture and most importantly the future of work.  But we flip-the-script on the former Chief People Officer at LinkedIn & Silicon Valley Legend and talk to Steve about how people are also the key to successfully implementing (AI) Artificial Intelligence.  We tackle the “FEAR of losing jobs to technology” narrative head-on and Steve provides some language that can help us as leaders to get our team onboard with all this technology & disruption and actually advance your skillset and increase your value to the company!

It’s an encouraging message of how incredible the Post WORKQUAKE future of work can be if we learn what’s important and heed the QUAKE-UP-CALL !
