Welcome to episode #996 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Christie Smith is a former senior executive at Apple, Deloitte and Accenture with over three decades of leadership experience across industries including life sciences, consumer goods and finance. She holds a doctorate in Social Work and Organizational Psychology and now leads The Humanity Studio, a leadership advisory firm focused on redefining the future of work. In her new book, Essential - How Distributed Teams, Generative AI, and Global Shifts Are Creating a New Human-Powered Leadership (along with her co-author Kelly Monahan), Christie outlines a bold new framework for leaders navigating a post-pandemic, AI-driven, decentralized world. This episode explores the urgent need for management transformation - from command-and-control to people-centered leadership - and how today's leaders must adapt to rising expectations around purpose, trust and equity. Topics include the power shift from corporations to individuals, the cultural cost of distributed work, and why organizations must stop measuring productivity and start cultivating human energy. The discussion also unpacks the psychological strain of "always-on" work cultures, the promise and peril of generative AI, and how leaders can build communities, not just companies. At its core, this conversation is about what comes after burnout… what it means to lead with humanity, design systems that elevate people, and use power responsibly in a time of profound disruption. For anyone rethinking what it means to lead, build and belong in the modern workplace, this episode offers a timely and hopeful reframing of what's possible. Enjoy the conversation...

At the urging of President Trump, the Texas legislature has launched a mid‑decade redistricting effort aimed at securing additional Republican seats in Congress.

It all comes amid enrollment drops, changing demographics, and pressure at both the state/federal levels. So, what is working? What's not? And what would it mean for Ohio's communities if these universities close their doors?

Thank you to , and who share their experiences and insights from decades in school transportation.Key PointsDrivers as Key Contributors to Safety:Drivers are the first to greet students daily and should be equipped with tools like de-escalation training, situational awareness, and ALICE-based training tailored for buses.Hiring drivers with strong character and providing continuous training ensures a safer and more supportive environment.Evolving Role of Technology:Modern buses integrate GPS tracking, stop-arm cameras, and student tracking systems to enhance safety and operational efficiency.Motion detection systems and live video analytics are emerging technologies aimed at preventing incidents like students left on buses and identifying risks in real-time.Comprehensive Training Programs:Training for all transportation staff, including drivers, assistants, and maintenance teams, covers threat management, behavior management, and crisis response.Partnerships with local law enforcement for programs like "Stop the Bleed" and role-playing scenarios ensure staff are prepared for emergencies.Community Engagement:Building relationships with students, parents, and local law enforcement fosters trust and improves communication.Strategies like engaging School Resource Officers (SROs) and involving administrators in bus activities strengthen support systems.Addressing Bullying and Behavior Management:Early intervention and use of technology to monitor behaviors can prevent incidents.Collaboration with school administrators and behavior analysts helps manage challenging behaviors effectively.Policy and Infrastructure Coordination:Regular evaluation of bus routes and stops ensures safety and efficiency, with adjustments made based on community feedback and traffic conditions.Coordination with municipalities can address infrastructure issues like crosswalk placement and traffic flow.

Two powerhouse experts, Ryan Morris and Jay McBain, join host Dave Sobel to discuss the emerging landscape of agentic AI, exploring the balance between hype and reality. They delve into the implications of AI technologies, particularly in the context of IT service providers and managed services. The conversation highlights the recent launch of Atera's autopilot feature, which claims to autonomously handle a significant portion of level one support tickets, raising questions about market readiness and the potential impact on traditional roles within the industry.Morris and McBain emphasize the need for managed service providers to adapt to this rapidly evolving environment. They identify two distinct mindsets among providers: those who feel threatened by AI and those who are eager to embrace its potential. The discussion underscores the importance of understanding business processes and implementing data governance policies to ensure responsible AI deployment. As AI tools become more integrated into workflows, the experts stress the necessity for providers to focus on higher-level tasks and strategic growth rather than getting bogged down in routine operations.The conversation also touches on the role of industry associations in supporting IT service providers during this transition. Sobel prompts the experts to consider what these organizations should prioritize, such as community building, training, and lobbying efforts. Morris and McBain argue that associations must evolve to remain relevant, focusing on delivering tangible value to their members rather than merely fostering a sense of community. They highlight the need for associations to measure their effectiveness based on the success and growth of their members.Finally, the experts discuss the potential for new business models to emerge in the agentic AI landscape. They suggest that the shift towards consumption-based pricing models will require providers to rethink their strategies and focus on driving customer adoption and utilization of AI technologies. As the industry navigates this transformative period, the insights shared by Morris and McBain provide a roadmap for IT service providers to thrive in an increasingly automated world.
