Stop Aiming for Great Culture – Aim for Good Work Instead

Kathryn Page — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 12:00:17 +0000

For years, leaders have been told to build a “great culture.” We invest in values statements, engagement surveys, and culture programs. We workshop purpose. We define behaviors. We launch initiatives. And yet burnout persists. Engagement remains stubbornly low. People still leave. The 2026 State of the Global Workplace report from Gallup tells a sobering story. Just 20 percent of employees worldwide […]

Why Culture is a You Problem

Grant Wyatt — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:00:17 +0000

The prevailing corporate narrative is clean, convenient…and incomplete: If culture is broken, leadership must fix it. If engagement is low, the business must invest more. If people are unhappy, HR must redesign the experience. It’s a seductive logic because it removes personal accountability. But culture is not what leaders declare; it is what every person […]

Leadership in the AI Era Is Breaking: Here’s What Comes Next

Mark Stelzner — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:00:29 +0000

We know that organizations are investing heavily in AI, and we also know that most are not seeing the transformation they expected.

I’ve been in more rooms than […]

Steven Wendlandt — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:00:38 +0000

Employers usually expect to offer some kind of benefits. Employees expect to receive them. The problem starts when the workplace benefits do not align with worker needs. Poorly designed benefits programs get less use while they still cost money. Even worse, they may not contribute to long-term employee engagement or retention. About three in four […]

Hiring has become more cautious than ever. Organizations are adding more interview steps, extending decision timelines, and searching for candidates who feel like “safe bets.” And yet, many companies still say they can’t find the leadership talent they need.

Your Job Isn’t Your Purpose

Grant Wyatt — Wed, 20 May 2026 12:00:27 +0000

We’ve bought into a pervasive illusion: that our jobs must offer total fulfilment. Modern companies sell “mission” as a value proposition right alongside salary and benefits. We are told our work should feel deeply meaningful at all times. It’s a seductive promise, but it’s a setup. The more you expect a corporation to provide your […]

The Human Leadership Advantage AI Can’t Replace

Emmanuel Gobillot — Tue, 19 May 2026 12:00:58 +0000

The danger of AI in HR is not that it will replace human leaders. It’s that human leaders, awestruck by its capabilities, will replace themselves. Human leadership in this era of AI is being discussed everywhere, but largely on AI’s terms. This fixation has an historical counterpart from the late 18th century. Then, the courts […]

Why AI-Generated Applications Are Creating a New Hiring Problem (And What HR Can Do About It)

Mira Solari — Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:12 +0000

Every recruiter who has opened their ATS in the past year has felt it: something has shifted. The applications look different. They read smoother, hit more keywords, and sound eerily similar to one another. That uniformity is not a coincidence. According to a 2025 report from Career Group Companies, roughly 65 percent of job candidates […]

Building a Scalable Culture in the Age of AI and Rapid Growth

Camila Paiva — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:00:47 +0000

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way companies work faster than most organizations are prepared for. In high-growth companies, this pressure is even stronger. Leaders are expected to grow faster, hire faster, make better decisions and increase productivity often at the same time that AI is changing roles, processes and expectations across the business.
