"Mr and Mrs Smith" have nearly $850,000 saved at age 43, but they're very concerned about retirement. "Lucy and Desi" are 58 and 64 with nearly $7 million saved, but they still lie awake wondering if it's enough for their high-expense life. "Tony and Carmela" are in a similar boat with millions saved at 61 and 59, but they're worried their asset allocation won't get them through their retirement. No matter the numbers, the fears sound exactly the same: will you run out of money in retirement? Turns out overcoming that fear is not about hitting a magic number.

January 27, 2026: Executives say AI is making work more efficient. Employees say it's barely saving time. Gartner warns that overreliance on AI will actually lead to worse decisions. And one of the world's leading AI CEOs says the real risks are arriving faster than society is prepared for. In today's episode of Future Ready Today, I break down four stories that, together, reveal what's really happening at work in the age of AI: A 5,000-year historical lens from Forbes Tech Council on how every major technology shift redefines what humans are valuable for — and why AI is no different, just faster. A new warning from Gartner that by 2030, 30% of organizations will see worse decision-making because employees are relying on AI before developing judgment. Reporting from the Wall Street Journal showing a growing gap between executives who believe AI is boosting productivity and employees who experience more rework, confusion, and an "AI tax" on their time. A sobering essay from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who argues that AI is entering its "adolescent" phase — powerful, fast-moving, and increasingly difficult to govern.

Christine Malfair is a lifelong hotelier turned independent-hotel marketing fixer, with a career spanning cruise ships, GM roles, and 15 years building Malfair Marketing as an early "remote fractional CMO." She helps independent hotels cut through AI noise and get found by guests and machines without losing their minds. Susan and Christine talk about clarity, consistency, and competitive courage. • Employee use of ChatGPT and real risks to proprietary hotel data • Guardrails for AI use inside hotel teams without banning innovation • Remote hotel leadership before "remote" was normal • Building a marketing function when no department exists • "AI-ready" as an ecosystem, not a shiny new tool • Why vague hotel language disappears in AI discovery • Team buy-in as the difference between tech adoption and rebellion • AI as an intermediary, not a channel • Why independent hotels can win without the biggest budgets • Standing tall in what guests already love you for *** Our Top Three Takeaways AI rewards clarity, not complexity Being "AI ready" isn't about adopting new tools or chasing the latest platform. It's about tightening what already exists. Hotels that are specific, consistent, and clear across their websites, listings, reviews, and social content will be easier for AI to understand and recommend. Generic language and inconsistencies create friction and invisibility. 2. Simple systems outperform heroic effort Christine's experience, from cruise ships to strata hotels, reinforces the same truth. Well-designed systems reduce chaos and conflict, even in complex environments. The same applies to marketing and AI. Progress comes from manageable, repeatable steps, not massive overhauls or one-time pushes. 3. Differentiation matters more than budget AI acts like a digital intermediary, deciding what gets surfaced and why. In that environment, sameness is a liability. The independent hotels that win won't be the ones with the most spend or the most content. They'll be the ones that are clear about who they are, what guests love about them, and how they stand apart.

Flights impacted in San Diego due to East Coast winter storm,  School employee in Lakeside arrested, Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers strike again today

Things are suddenly moving fast at Sarah Segal's San Francisco PR firm. Several new clients look likely to sign on, and for the first time in a while, growth feels real. Which leaves Sarah with a familiar, nerve-racking question: Do you hire before the work arrives—or wait until the revenue is actually in the door? If she hires now, she may have to cut her own pay until the new business materializes. And there's no guarantee it will. She still remembers the last downturn, when she had to lay off people she cared about—and she's determined not to repeat that experience. But if she waits and the clients do sign, she risks something else: overloading her existing team, burning people out, and falling behind before she can recruit and train new hires. The pressure is even higher because Sarah has already set an aggressive revenue goal for 2026.Plus: Jaci Russo explains why she's adopted a different approach to planning and budgeting. Instead of guessing how much she can afford to spend, Jaci is changing the order of the math. After revisiting Mike Michalowicz's Profit First—prompted by a story highlighted in the 21 Hats Morning Report—she's begun setting profit targets first and forcing every other decision, including hiring, to fit around them. It's only been a few weeks, but Jaci says the shift is already changing how she thinks about risk, growth, and what she can actually afford.

Customer experience leaders face a familiar tension: do we put employees first or customers first? As organizations scale and adopt AI, that question becomes operational. In this special takeover episode of The Modern Customer Podcast, Jacob Morgan shares insights from The 8 Laws of Employee Experience, based on research with more than 100 CHROs. He explains why CX and EX operate as one system—and how leadership decisions behind the scenes shape customer outcomes. This conversation gives CX leaders a practical, systems-level lens to strengthen trust, consistency, and performance as AI raises the stakes. Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of three books on customer experience. Her new book is called The 8 Laws of Customer-Focused Leadership: The New Rules for Building A Business Around Today's Customer.

It's been nearly a year since Kash Patel took the helm of the FBI, a period New York Times reporter Emily Bazelon says has been “marred by vendettas, mismanagement and meltdowns.” The New York Times spoke to 45 current and former FBI officials, who describe a traditionally independent agency now captured and weaponized by the White House. The officials say the FBI's new emphasis on immigration, over counterterrorism and cybersecurity, is making America less safe.

Traditional employee engagement is broken. Your remote workers aren't seeing celebrations, and generic recognition programs fall flat because everyone's motivated differently. Workplace culture specialists are seeing success with three core strategies: First, use digital platforms like Teams and Slack to make recognition consistent across locations. Second, gamify behaviors that matter—not just sales numbers, but collaboration, innovation, and effort. Third, personalize everything. Let people choose their preferred style of rewards and recognition. Sales teams especially need this. Commission-only motivation leads straight to burnout. Recognize the grind: most calls made, best customer relationships, skills improvement. Celebrate progress, not just closed deals. The leadership shift? Treat recognition as strategic retention, not a nice-to-have perk. Build simple, consistent habits first. Your retention rates will prove it's working. Alex Grande 

When Justin Banner's company hired their second salesperson, everything fell apart. Not because the new hire was incompetent, but because there was no system. No documented process. No clear path from prospect to close. The sales team was flying blind, and Banner realized something critical: What isn't documented, can't be scaled. But here's the twist most business leaders miss: your sales team isn't the only one struggling in the dark. The Celebration Gap That's Killing Your Culture Picture your last team celebration. Chances are, it was for hitting a sales milestone. Maybe your top salesperson closed a big deal. Maybe you exceeded quarterly revenue targets. The sales team got the spotlight, the applause, the recognition. Now picture your operations team. Your QA specialists. Your developers. Your fulfillment crew. When was the last time they got celebrated? This isn't just about fairness, it's about retention. Banner discovered that operational teams often feel like second-class citizens because their wins don't come with a built-in scoreboard. A salesperson knows exactly when they've won. But when does a QA analyst "win"? When does a developer deserve applause? The solution: Create specific, measurable celebration triggers for every team. At Banner's company, the QA team celebrates after 15 defect-free website launches. Developers earn recognition when post-launch complaints drop below a certain threshold. When these milestones hit, the entire company stops for an impromptu celebration: lunch, games, genuine recognition. The message is clear: Excellence matters everywhere, not just in sales. The Priority Problem Nobody's Talking About Here's a scenario that plays out in small businesses every single day: Two departments both claim their project is "urgent." Leadership says everything is important. Team members make their own judgment calls. Nothing gets finished well. Sound familiar? Banner's solution is brutally simple: a documented, ranked priority list reviewed every Monday in leadership meetings. Not a vague strategic plan, a crystal-clear roadmap where Priority 1 gets 60% of team time, Period. The genius isn't in having priorities. It's in documenting them so thoroughly that your team never has to guess. Why Your Annual Values Exercise Is Failing Most companies spend hours crafting mission statements and core values that sound impressive on the wall but mean nothing on Monday morning. Banner tried that approach. It didn't work. His breakthrough? Replace everything with one memorable mantra that changes annually. This year's mantra: "Evolve." Not because it sounds good, but because the company was facing significant changes and needed a North Star that would reduce resistance. The team proposed options. They voted. They owned it. One word. Constantly reinforced. Actually used in daily decisions. That's more powerful than ten values nobody remembers. The AI Integration Nobody's Forcing Here's what doesn't work: Mandating AI adoption. Here's what does: Monthly training lunches led by internal AI champions who share success stories. Like the developer who optimized 100 lines of code down to 15 using AI. Banner uses AI daily for brainstorming, drafting, and iteration. His team adopts it at their own pace. The key? Provide tools and permission, then let success stories spread organically. The bottom line: Systems aren't about control. They're about clarity. They're about ensuring your operations team gets the same recognition as your sales stars. They're about making sure everyone knows what "winning" looks like, and actually celebrating when it happens. Because what gets documented gets scaled. What gets measured gets improved. And what gets celebrated gets repeated.

In this episode of Maximum Lawyer Live, host Tyson Mutrux shares insights on the difference between what you do and how you do it, inspired by a Disney cast member who brought creativity and joy to his work. Tyson discusses the power of employee autonomy, mindset, and workplace culture.Tyson shares how to implement employee freedom within a firm. Nordstrom is a retailer that is notorious for having amazing customer service, in which their employees are able to go above and beyond for their customers. This is seen in their generous return policy. For Tyson, a great firm is one that gives their employees the opportunity to be the best person for their client. This could be providing them with a gift at the end of the case or being proactive and setting up recurring meetings to keep clients updated. At the end of the day, it is all about making sure the client is taken care of.Building a culture that fosters magic is extremely important for any firm. It is important to create an environment where people can have the right mindset to thrive. Think about areas you can improve. What areas are you micromanaging? When do you need to step back and let staff have more creative freedom?

Every Saturday, we showcase a topic important to you by rounding up the greatest highlights and clips from Level 10 Contractor's ENTIRE podcast run. This week, we focus on your employees and their morale. You cannot operate your businesses alone; employees are the cogs that make the machine run without you. But they are more than just cogs. They should be reflections on you and the culture of your company. If that culture is negative and degrading… well, you shouldn't expect the highest performance. So how do you keep morale high and your employees humming along?

One of the most common mistakes we see people do is they try to do it themselves, like with a spreadsheet. If your business grows and you end up, you know, like Most businesses do, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20 people, and you're still trying to use spreadsheets and not use a system that ends up in a really bad place. You don't have audit logs for traffic, you know, for, for, for history. You don't have compliance, you know, you don't have transparency a lot of times. So you lac of these modern features where, you know, you choose a system like us and like everything's right here in your phone. That's probably the biggest mistake is they're either choosing the wrong system, not choosing a system at all, or they're trying to like, leverage a spreadsheet or a word doc or a Google Doc to run their business. And that, that never turns out well.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found@drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie Calls On Call, Extraordinary Answering Service as well as the Bold Business book. And today we're welcoming Slash, preparing to learn from Dean Matthews from On the Clock. So, Dean, how is it going today? Dean Mathews [00:01:21]: It is going wonderful, James. Thank you so much for having me. I can't wait to chat with you. James Kademan [00:01:26]: Yeah, you know, I'm excited to talk to you for a few reasons. One, you've been in business seemingly forever, so that's. Dean Mathews [00:01:33]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:34]: And the other is you seem to be pretty people centric, which is great, and I'm gonna dare say rare. And on top of that, you run a service, the timekeeping system, I guess that we. My gosh, when I was looking for a timekeeping system forever ago, it was bizarre to me how few options I found that actually could do all of the things. Dean Mathews [00:01:59]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:59]: And I'm like, I'm not asking for a rocket ship to the moon or anything. I'm just literally asking to keep track of employees hours. That's all I want. Dean Mathews [00:02:06]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:02:07]: So how about you? Let's just start from the very beginning, right back at the dawn of time. Dean Mathews [00:02:11]: Dawn of time. James Kademan [00:02:12]: When did you get started with? On the clock? Dean Mathews [00:02:14]: Yeah. So I'll give you the quick rundown. So I'm kind of a, I guess you call it a quote unquote, serial entrepreneur, if you will. Quite A few startups, businesses, side projects, passion projects throughout the years. But with on the Clock back In like the mid 2000 era, I had several projects, passion projects going on. On the Clock was one of them. I'm always looking for problems that I can solve. So this is the kitchen story or the kitchen table story. Dean Mathews [00:02:49]: This was late 2003 ish. So like 20 some years ago now, sitting at the kitchen table, looking through forums, business forums, remember those business, small business accounting forums. And I saw this trend of all these small business owners and accountants in this forum, just talking. I just looking for something simple, something like you just said, that works well, something that can track my employees time. And I want it online and I want it easy and I want it reliable. That was their two requests. So I was sitting there and I was reading that and I'm like, I'm going to build that for them. So I'm also a software developer or in a former life I was a software developer. Dean Mathews [00:03:34]: So I set out to build it and pretty much within a couple months we actually had on the clock running. It was very simple, very bare bones, but it was up and running. Employees could clock in and clock out, managers and admins could get time for payroll. And it was really just a passion project at that time along with, you know, several others. And kind of fast forward to right around 10ish years ago, it had just been kind of organically growing on its own. Like I said, it was more of a side project. But about that 10ish years ago, Mark, really it started, started getting to the point to where I couldn't ignore it anymore. So decided to go all in with on the Clock and want to just focus on one thing really, really heavily and put all my energy into it instead of half a dozen or a dozen different projects. Dean Mathews [00:04:26]: So focused on that and decided to turn it from a passion project to a real business. Got it into an llc. My brother Mark was also interested in doing some of these things so got him to come on board. And we hired our first employee, Samantha. She's still with us today. She's actually moved up a lot in the tier. She is now product owner. Super proud of her. Dean Mathews [00:04:52]: And so now we're sitting where it's 22 of us total and we serve about 18,000 customers, mostly here in the United States. James Kademan [00:05:00]: Yeah, 18,000. Dean Mathews [00:05:01]: 18,000. Yeah. It's crazy. James Kademan [00:05:04]: Holy cow. Dean Mathews [00:05:04]: That is a. James Kademan [00:05:06]: That's a pool and a half. Dean Mathews [00:05:07]: Yeah, it's a. Yeah, two and a half pools. James Kademan [00:05:10]: So crazy. Dean Mathews [00:05:11]: Yeah, it's kind of crazy when you Step back and look at it and. But you know, it goes to show you, you know, you put your effort and your time and your energy into something and it can pay off, it can turn into something big. James Kademan [00:05:22]: Yeah, yeah, Tell me a story. You were doing software before you said so were your other passion projects software based? Dean Mathews [00:05:30]: Almost all of them were, yes. So built a kind of like an online survey type tool similar to like a survey monkey where you could ask different surveys. Had a database type tool where you could just create a database for anything you wanted to contacts customers, sales online. Started that one, had another payments processing, a business to business payments processing, Ach type solution. Those are two or three of the ones that I started. There was a couple others as well. They kind of, some started, some really took off, some didn't, some just kind of floundered. But yeah, so I always had that entrepreneurial spirit, just wanting to do something big, you know, just make a change, something I could just stand on and, you know, just be happy with. James Kademan [00:06:18]: Yeah, it's interesting, I had another guest on the show, I don't know, fairly recently and he said all we want to do is sell usernames and passwords. So I feel like you're, you're in that world, which is pretty good world to be in. Dean Mathews [00:06:34]: Yeah, yeah. James Kademan [00:06:36]: Tell me a story as far as the back end goes, because programming languages that were popular 20 years ago are not necessarily the same now. So has your platform shifted or had huge rewrites or anything over the course of the past couple decades? Dean Mathews [00:06:52]: Yeah, from a technology standpoint, the technology we wrote it in, you know, 22, three years ago now is an older technology. Right. And it, it still worked, but you really have to keep up with the times. You can't just sit on these older technologies. You know, developers aren't versed in them anymore, they're inefficient. And the new technologies have so much more to offer for our customer experience. So we started a venture about three years ago, ish, where we called it Move and Improve, where we pick off a couple pages, a couple screens at a time and move those over to the new new technology. So now as of the turn of this year, there's just a couple little pieces we're picking up now, but we are going to be 100. Dean Mathews [00:07:41]:

Arizona is an “at-will” employment state which means employers can fire you for any reason at all.

Top Stories for January 22nd Publish Date: January 22nd PRE-ROLL: Gwinnett County Public Schools From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 22nd and Happy birthday to Sam Cooke I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. A winter storm is coming, but its impact remains unclear Jeff Foxworthy to tape comedy special at Gwinnett's Gas South Theater Struggling Georgia timber industry could receive big tax break Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on breads All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: A winter storm is coming, but its impact remains unclear Gwinnett County, keep your eyes on the skies this weekend—forecasters are still piecing together just how hard Georgia will get hit by the winter storm barreling across the East Coast. Here’s what we know: a storm is coming. The National Weather Service in Peachtree City confirmed Tuesday night that north Georgia is in its path. “Significant impacts from ice and snow are anticipated,” they said. But the details? Still fuzzy. How far south will it reach? How much snow, ice, or that dreaded wintry mix? Timing? All TBD. Earlier Tuesday, forecasters weren’t even sure if the storm would touch Georgia. By nightfall, they were calling for an 80% chance of winter weather in the north Georgia mountains, tapering to 50% in middle Georgia. FOX 5 meteorologist Jonathan Stacey explained it’s all about Arctic air slamming into Gulf moisture. North Georgia? Likely stuck on the messy line between snow and ice. And with the ground already frozen from days of cold, conditions could get ugly fast. STORY 2: Jeff Foxworthy to tape comedy special at Gwinnett's Gas South Theater Jeff Foxworthy—Grammy nominee, comedy legend, and Atlanta’s own—is coming home to tape a live comedy special, and it’s happening right here in Gwinnett. Two nights only: April 15 and 16 at Gas South Theater. These shows? They’re gonna be up close and personal, packed with brand-new material. Tickets? Artist pre-sale started Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. (use code “JEFF”). General sales kick off Friday, Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. at GasSouthDistrict.com. Foxworthy isn’t just the king of redneck jokes (though, let’s be honest, they’re iconic). His humor dives into family life, human quirks, and the everyday absurdities we all know too well—think Mark Twain, but with a Southern drawl. With the best-selling comedy album of all time, 26 books, and a spot in the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, he’s a comedy powerhouse. His latest special, The Good Old Days, is streaming now on Netflix, and his SiriusXM channel, Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup, keeps the laughs rolling. STORY 3: Struggling Georgia timber industry could receive big tax break Georgia lawmakers are pushing to end sales taxes on timber—a lifeline for an industry that’s been hit hard by mill closures and devastating storms. House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration says the bipartisan effort is about protecting rural Georgia’s backbone. “Timber is a cornerstone of our state’s economy,” he said. “But between sawmill closures and Hurricane Helene’s destruction, timber farmers are struggling. This tax cut could help save livelihoods.” Georgia’s forestry industry, once the nation’s largest, has taken a beating. Hurricane Helene alone wiped out 1.5 million acres in 2024, costing $1.28 billion. Mill closures in Savannah, Riceboro, and Cedar Springs haven’t helped. The proposed tax cut would cost the state $18 million annually, but local governments would be reimbursed. Clint Mueller of the Association County Commissions of Georgia says counties reliant on timber need this industry to survive. If two-thirds of the legislature approves, voters will decide in November. Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp’s budget proposal includes $14 million to boost timber tech in industries like auto manufacturing. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia - GCPL Passport STORY 4: Norcross man arrested after disturbance at Social Security Office Gwinnett County Police arrested a Norcross man last week after back-to-back disturbances at two different locations. It started on Jan. 14 at the Social Security office on Shackleford Road. Witnesses told police that 65-year-old Robert Burke was yelling, making threats, and hurling insults—right in front of kids, no less. Employees said this wasn’t his first outburst there. Someone even had video, which helped officers identify him. But by the time they arrived? Burke was gone. An arrest warrant for disorderly conduct was issued, and, well, it didn’t take long to find him. The very next day, Jan. 15, police were called to a Courtyard Marriott in Duluth for—you guessed it—another disturbance involving Burke. No one was hurt in either incident, but the investigation’s still ongoing. STORY 5: Millender's three-point play in final seconds lifts No. 21 Georgia past Missouri 74-72 Marcus “Smurf” Millender stole the show Tuesday night, dropping 18 points and sealing No. 21 Georgia’s 74-72 win over Missouri with a clutch three-point play in the final 5.5 seconds. Missouri thought they had it when Jacob Crews nailed a wild, off-balance three with 21 seconds left, putting them up 72-71. But Millender—just 5-foot-11 and coming off the bench, as always—drove hard to the rim, took the hit, and somehow got the layup to fall. Oh, and he sank the free throw too. Crews had one last shot at the buzzer, but his deep three clanged off. Georgia, who usually lights up the scoreboard (96 points per game!), struggled offensively, shooting just 36.9%. Jeremiah Wilkinson added 14 points, and Kannon Catchings chipped in 12. Up next: Georgia heads to Texas on Saturday, while Missouri hosts Oklahoma. BRAVES: Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are headed to Cooperstown, two center fielders who dominated their eras with a mix of power, speed, and jaw-dropping defense. Born just a day apart in April 1977, they’ll now share the stage at the Hall of Fame induction on July 26. Beltrán, in his fourth year on the ballot, finally crossed the 75% threshold, earning 84.2% of the vote. Jones, in his ninth year, got 78.4%. Both had to climb uphill—Beltrán’s path clouded by the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, Jones’ by a slow start in Hall voting (just 7.3% in 2018). Beltrán, a nine-time All-Star, hit .279 with 435 homers and 1,587 RBIs over 20 seasons. He was a postseason monster, batting .307 with 16 homers in 65 playoff games. “The Mets are a big part of my identity,” he said, though his career spanned stints with Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, and others. Jones, meanwhile, was a defensive wizard, winning 10 Gold Gloves and smashing 434 homers. He’s now the sixth Braves legend from their 1990s dynasty to make the Hall, joining Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, and McGriff. We’ll be right back.

Escape the Delegation Trap and Empower Your Team Many leaders believe delegation is simply about assigning tasks. In reality, poor delegation is one of the biggest drivers of burnout, bottlenecks, and disengaged teams. In the latest episode of The Leadership Habit, host Jenn DeWall sits down with CEO strategist and productivity expert Atiba de Souza, author of The Delegation Trap. Together, they unpack why most leaders feel stuck answering the same questions, doing too much themselves, and struggling to build true bench strength on their teams. This conversation goes beyond delegation theory. Atiba shares hard-earned lessons from more than 30 years in business and coaching, along with a practical framework leaders can use immediately to help their teams think more clearly, take ownership, and perform at a higher level. Meet Atiba de Souza, Author and Entrepreneur Atiba de Souza is known as a secret weapon for organizations with underperforming teams. As a CEO, strategist, and team productivity expert, he helps leaders remove delegation bottlenecks and transform how work gets done. With more than three decades of business experience and over 15 years as a championship football coach, Atiba brings a rare blend of real-world leadership, team development, and performance discipline. His work focuses on practical frameworks that improve productivity by teaching leaders to empower others rather than becoming bottlenecks themselves. Why Delegation Breaks Down Many leaders start with good intentions. They train their teams. They explain expectations. They provide resources. Yet over time, the same frustrations appear: Leaders answer the same questions repeatedly Decisions funnel upward Managers feel overwhelmed and burned out Teams hesitate to act without approval As Atiba explains in the episode, this often leads leaders to believe they have a people problem when in reality they have a delegation problem. Too often, delegation becomes telling instead of teaching. When leaders jump in with answers, they unintentionally train their teams to depend on them rather than think for themselves. The Delegation Trap Atiba describes the “delegation trap” as the moment leaders realize their business or team cannot move without them. Even when performance looks strong on the surface, leaders feel trapped because: The organization relies on their constant input Time off feels impossible Growth is limited by their own capacity In the episode, Atiba shares how he discovered this problem firsthand when he realized he spent much of his day answering questions he felt he had already addressed. That realization became the catalyst for developing a new way to delegate that focuses on thinking, not just doing. The CASE Method: A Better Way to Delegate At the heart of Atiba's book is a simple but powerful framework called the CASE Method. Rather than telling people what to do, this approach helps leaders coach their teams to think through problems independently. C – Challenges Leaders begin by asking team members what challenges they encountered. This opens the conversation without judgment and creates psychological safety. A – Articulate Next, employees articulate each step they took. This allows leaders to see how the person is thinking, not just what outcome they reached. S – Study Together, leaders and employees study selected steps, exploring assumptions, decisions, and outcomes. Instead of correcting mistakes directly, leaders ask questions that guide discovery. This is where learning accelerates. Employees begin connecting cause and effect on their own. E – Easier Than Expected Finally, leaders ask what felt easier than expected. This step often reveals hidden strengths and talents leaders may not have recognized. Over time, this process helps employees move beyond task completion and toward true ownership. Why Teaching People How to Think Matters Throughout the conversation, one message stands out: effective leaders do not teach people what to do. They teach people how to think. Atiba explains that as artificial intelligence continues to reshape work, leadership will increasingly depend on asking better questions rather than providing faster answers. Leaders who rely on telling will struggle. Leaders who coach thinking will build resilient, adaptable teams. This shift requires curiosity, patience, and restraint. It also requires leaders to talk less and listen more. A Powerful Reminder for Leaders One of the most impactful moments in the episode comes when Atiba shares a personal story from early in his coaching journey. After a difficult season, his young son told him he never wanted to play football again because of his coaching style. That moment forced Atiba to look in the mirror and confront an uncomfortable truth: leadership without empowerment creates disengagement. The lesson applies far beyond sports. Leaders must be willing to examine their own habits and recognize when their approach may be unintentionally limiting others. Key Takeaways from This Episode Delegation failures are often leadership system failures Answering questions too quickly creates dependency Empowerment grows through guided thinking, not direction Strong leaders ask better questions, not more questions Simple leadership fundamentals outperform complex frameworks Where to Learn More from Atiba de Souza To dive deeper into the CASE Method and practical delegation strategies, visit TheDelegationTrap.com, where you can find Atiba's book and additional resources designed to help leaders delegate more effectively. You can also connect with Atiba to learn how his frameworks help leaders build stronger, more autonomous teams. Continue Building Your Leadership Skills Delegation, coaching, and empowerment are core leadership capabilities. They do not develop by accident. Crestcom helps leaders strengthen these skills through structured learning, discussion, and application. If you want to sharpen your ability to lead, coach, and empower your team, you can request a complimentary two-hour leadership workshop at crestcom.com/freeworkshop. If you know a leader who feels overwhelmed, stuck answering every question, or struggling to step out of the weeds, share this episode with them. One new approach could change how they lead.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with four-time CHRO Dean E. Carter to dismantle the "command and control" ghosts of corporate past and reveal the blueprint for a workplace where people actually want to show up. Drawing from his transformative leadership at iconic brands like Patagonia, Airbnb, and even a "sinking" Sears, Carter explains why the secret to a thriving organization isn't found in a ping-pong table or a snack bar, but in the radical act of designing work with people rather than for them. Whether you are leading a team of ten or ten thousand, this conversation serves as a masterclass on how to bridge the growing trust gap between CEOs and employees by injecting wisdom, wonder, and wit back into the professional experience.

In this episode, Josh and Sam talk through how to navigate this complex process with clarity, compassion, and integrity. The post How Do You Fire a Church Employee? appeared first on Church Answers.

Trust has always been one of the hardest things to earn in B2B marketing. As content volumes have increased, that challenge has only grown. When buyers are surrounded by more posts, more articles, and more opinions than ever before, it becomes harder to know who to believe and who to ignore.In this episode of The Content 10x Podcast, Amy Woods talks through why people-led content is something you cannot afford to ignore in 2026. After years of higher output and faster production, and with AI making it easier than ever to scale, buyers are paying closer attention to who is speaking, not just what is being said. Experience, judgement, and credibility now carry more weight than polish.This episode focuses on the ‘why' behind people-led content – specifically employee-led content in B2B. Amy explores why trust feels harder to earn today, why human voices are starting to outperform brand-led messaging, and why this shift reflects buyer behaviour rather than a passing trend.If you're thinking about how to build credibility, engage your audience, and push your brand further without adding to the noise, this episode will help reframe how you approach visibility and trust in B2B marketing.Find out:Why trust has become the real constraint in B2B marketingHow AI-driven scale has changed expectations (and buyer skepticism)Why people now trust individuals more than brandsWhat “people-led content” means in a B2B contextWhy this shift is unavoidable for brands that want to stand out in 2026Important links & mentions:Amy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amywoods2/Content 10x: https://www.content10x.com/Amy's book: www.content10x.com/book (Content 10x: More Content, Less Time, Maximum Results)Amy Woods is the CEO and founder of Content 10x, a creative agency that provides specialist content strategy, creation and repurposing support to B2B organizations.She's also a best-selling author, hosts two content marketing podcasts (The Content 10x Podcast and B2B Content Strategist), and speaks on stages all over the world about the power of content marketing.Join thousands of business owners, content creators and marketers and get the latest content marketing tips and advice delivered straight to your inbox every week https://www.content10x.com/newsletter

A case in which the Court will decide whether pension plans calculating an employer's withdrawal liability “as of the end of the plan year” must use the financial assumptions that existed at year-end, or whether they can use different assumptions adopted after year-end as long as those assumptions are based on information available at the time.
