What does it take to transform a mission-driven organization into a high-velocity execution machine? Today, Peter Winick sits down with Suba Vasudevan, COO of Mozilla, to explore how thought leadership drives impact inside and outside the organization. Suba isn't just talking about brand elevation—she's focused on aligning thought leadership with Mozilla's double bottom line: financial success and a healthy internet. You'll hear how she uses thought leadership to drive strategic clarity, cultural alignment, and real-world execution across a global, mission-focused team. Suba unpacks how leaders can build trust, model transparency, and scale their thinking across a workforce by showing up authentically—whether that's in a Slack message or on a podcast. From AI adoption to KPIs, Suba makes it clear: thought leadership isn't optional for modern executives—it's core to leading transformation. She offers a candid look at how leaders should use their voice—not just for visibility, but as a catalyst for cultural change, employee productivity, and long-term innovation. Suba's message is simple and powerful: If you're not investing in thought leadership, you're holding your team back. Three Key Takeaways: • Thought Leadership Is a Leadership Imperative Suba emphasizes that thought leadership isn't optional—it's foundational to effective leadership in today's world. It's how leaders align teams, build trust, and scale their vision across an organization. She views it as table stakes for anyone serious about transformation. • Execution and Culture Must Be Intertwined Driving results at Mozilla means more than setting KPIs. Suba connects culture to execution, highlighting that metrics only matter when they're backed by employee belief, buy-in, and shared values. Thought leadership is her tool to bridge that gap. • AI Is a Culture Shift, Not Just a Tech Shift Suba doesn't just endorse using AI—she models it. By openly using tools like ChatGPT and encouraging her team to do the same, she's shaping a culture of innovation, experimentation, and productivity. Her approach shows how leadership can normalize and accelerate change from the top. If you found Suba Vasudevan's episode valuable—especially her take on aligning leadership, culture, and execution—then you won't want to miss our conversation with Harry Kraemer on Value-Based Thought Leadership. Like Suba, Harry emphasizes the power of authenticity, clarity, and consistency in leadership. He explores how values-driven decision-making builds trust, scales alignment, and creates long-term impact inside complex organizations. While Suba applies these principles to tech and innovation, Harry brings a timeless leadership lens from his experience as a CEO and professor at Kellogg.

So, are you thinking about retiring? You're definitely not alone! On today's Morning Air, John Morales had a really interesting chat with Harry Kraemer—former CEO of Baxter and all-around wise guy—about when it's the right time to retire. Spoiler alert: it's not as simple as hitting a certain age!   Harry pointed out that with people living longer these days, deciding when to retire has gotten a bit trickier. Back in the day, the average lifespan was around 65, so retiring made sense. But now, you might live into your 80s or 90s, which means you could be retired for more years than you actually worked!    The big takeaway? Plan ahead! Harry emphasized that it's super important to think about what you want to do in retirement. Don't just stop working one day and expect everything to fall into place. Whether it's volunteering, getting more involved in your church, or even writing that novel, you've got to have a plan.   And remember, retirement doesn't mean retiring from life! You can stay active, contribute to your community, and keep that sense of purpose going strong. So, before you decide to clock out for good, take some time to pray, reflect, and really think about what God might be calling you to do with the next chapter of your life.    As Harry likes to say, "life's not a sprint—it's a marathon."  So, pace yourself, plan wisely, and enjoy the ride!

Do you get stressed by all the meetings you have at work?

Shopify, the e-commerce giant, has shaken up the corporate world by eliminating all recurring meetings with more than two people and limiting large meetings to once a week.
