Story of the Week (DR): Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot resigns following Coldplay ‘kiss cam' incident MMAstronomer's human resources chief Kristin Cabot has resigned from the company following an affair that was caught on camera at a Coldplay concert.The intimate moment between Cabot and CEO Andy Byron went viral on the internet after the two hid when Coldplay's lead singer called them out during the concert.Both Byron and Chabot have now resigned from Astronomer and have been removed from the company's leadership team webpage.They did it! Zero women! 10 execs/ 5 directorsTrump's order to block 'woke' AI in government encourages tech giants to censor their chatbotsTech companies looking to sell their artificial intelligence technology to the federal government must now contend with a new regulatory hurdle: prove their chatbots aren't “woke.”President Donald Trump's sweeping new plan to counter China in achieving “global dominance” in AI promises to cut regulations and cement American values into the AI tools increasingly used at work and home. But one of Trump's three AI executive orders signed Wednesday — the one “preventing woke AI in the federal government” — marks the first time the U.S. government has explicitly tried to shape the ideological behavior of AI.The move also pushes the tech industry to abandon years of work to combat the pervasive forms of racial and gender bias that studies and real-world examples have shown to be baked into AI systems.OpenAI's Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in bankingOpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned the financial industry of a “significant impending fraud crisis” because of the ability of artificial intelligence tools to impersonate a person's voice to bypass security checks and move money.“A thing that terrifies me is apparently there are still some financial institutions that will accept the voiceprint as authentication,” Altman said. “That is a crazy thing to still be doing. AI has fully defeated that.”Uber will let women drivers and riders request to avoid being paired with men starting next month Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR): DR: Top U.N. Court Says Countries Must Act on Climate ChangeThe International Court of Justice, the United Nations' top court, issued an advisory opinion Wednesday that found all nations must tackle climate change and those that do not act could be obliged to pay reparations for the harm caused to the environment.The ruling was the result of years of efforts by activists and small island nations. The case was first initiated by Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, a group of young Pacific Islanders facing the existential threat of rising sea levels, and led by the island nation of Vanuatu.MM: Glass Lewis sues Texas over new ESG and DEI limits on proxy advisersGlass Lewis is my new heroISS too Assholiest of the Week (MM): FCC approves $8 billion Paramount-Skydance mergerParamount agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump's CBS lawsuitSuit was filed because Trump didn't like the editing on a Kamala interviewSenators Investigate Whether David Ellison Cut Side Deal With Trump After $16 Million Paramount SettlementSam Altman and the “you should be worried about the thing I built” manbaby tech bro ethosSam Altman is terrified about a coming AI fraud crisisSam Altman is worried some young people have an 'emotional over-reliance' on ChatGPT when making decisionsTrump's ‘anti-woke AI' order could reshape how US tech companies train their modelsWhen running AI giant OpenAI becomes too overwhelming Sam Altman turns to pen and paper—it's a habit shared by Bill Gates and Richard BransonMicrosoft's Satya Nadella says job cuts have been 'weighing heavily' on him DRSatya Nadella on the ‘enigma of success' in the age of AI: a thriving business, but 15,000+ layoffs“Before anything else, I want to speak to what's been weighing heavily on me, and what I know many of you are thinking about: the recent job eliminations. These decisions are among the most difficult we have to make. They affect people we've worked alongside, learned from, and shared countless moments with—our colleagues, teammates, and friends. I want to express my sincere gratitude to those who have left.”“I also want to acknowledge the uncertainty and seeming incongruence of the times we're in. By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving—our market performance, strategic positioning, and growth all point up and to the right.”And yet, at the same time, we've undergone layoffs. This is the enigma of success…DistractionsElon Musk's Tesla Is Now the Most Hated Electric Vehicle MakerElon Musk Tells Tesla Investors to Focus on a Future Filled With RobotsElon Musk Warns That Tesla Board Could Fire Him "If I Go Crazy"EpsteinTrump's order to make chatbots anti-woke is unconstitutional, senator saysMeme stocksBeyond Meat?

DR: Satya Nadella's bullshit (More than 15,000 positions—about 7% of the company's global workforce—have been eliminated since January; $79M 2024 pay/408:1 CEO pay ratio):“By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving—our market performance, strategic positioning, and growth all point up and to the right” he wrote, noting the company's capital expenditures, largely fueled by investments in AI and cloud infrastructure, are at historic highs. Despite these investments, he said headcount “is relatively unchanged,” given the simultaneous reduction of jobs.Nadella called this tension the “enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value,” arguing that success in tech is not permanent or evenly distributed. “Progress isn't linear. It's dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding. But it's also a new opportunity for us to shape, lead through, and have greater impact than ever before.”Expressing gratitude to those let go, Nadella acknowledged the human cost. “Their contributions have shaped who we are as a company, helping build the foundation we stand on today. And for that, I am deeply grateful.”MM: People who pay CEOs - The gap between CEO and worker pay keeps increasing—and Trump's policies are making it grow faster - and according to our analysis, directors on the pay committee have zero repercussions for overpaying. 11% of shareholder votes were less than 90% in favor of pay, but greater than 90% in favor of directors who set pay (in 2%, it was less than 75% for pay and greater than 90% for directors) Predictions DR: Satya Nadella divorces his wife and tells her he is “deeply grateful” but this is the “enigma of love”MM: Someone in MAGA realizes that they don't need to look for documents released related to Jeffrey Epstein to find connections between Trump and sex traffickers since he actually hired a former CEO of a sex trafficking ring, Linda MacMahon, to run the Education Department and the whole White House has been WWE-ified

From Disney to Microsoft, via Vodafone and Virgin Media, Cindy Rose has been a top executive at some of the world's best known companies. Born and raised in the US, one of her early passions was figure skating – a sport she confessed left her covered in bumps and bruises. After qualifying as a lawyer, she later switched to corporate roles, relocating to Europe then London. Her time at Disney included a shift dressed as Mickey Mouse's loyal hound, Pluto, welcoming guests to the Californian theme park. Now she's set to become the new CEO of the troubled FTSE ad giant, WPP – where her experience in tech and AI look set to be an asset. Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues to find out how Cindy Rose made it from law to leadership – and the challenges she faces as head of one of the world's biggest advertising groups.

Satya Nadella, a Microsoft feje nemrég újra köztudatba emelte a Jevons paradoxon nevű közgazdaságtani közhelyet az AI kontextusában. A héten arról beszélgetünk, mi is ez pontosan, vonatkoztatható-e a modern tech szektorra, és hogy milyen jövő vár arra az emberiségre, amit kiautomatizálunk a saját tudásából.

News and Updates: SpaceX slapped a $1,000 “demand surcharge” on new Starlink Residential subscribers in parts of Washington, Oregon, and Northern Idaho, pushing startup costs as high as $1,349. The fee aims to slow adoption and prevent network congestion — a sharp climb from $100 last year. Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 in global desktop market share. Statcounter data shows Windows 11 now holds 52%, after nearly four years and hardware requirement hurdles slowed its rollout. Microsoft's push included full-screen upgrade ads and end-of-life warnings for Windows 10. A deep report reveals a culture shift inside Microsoft, as AI investment frenzy and post-Covid leadership changes undermine employee morale. Long-time staff describe a climate of fear, layoffs, and performance metrics tied to AI tool use like Copilot — with CFO Amy Hood said to be steering strategy over Satya Nadella. Amazon now operates over 1 million robots in its warehouses, with automation assisting 75% of global deliveries. While robots have replaced many manual tasks, Amazon says it's retraining workers for higher-skilled roles managing the machines. Productivity has soared, though concerns persist over future job cuts in heavily automated sites.

What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [10:20] Tapping into untapped potential [18:08] Command and control vs. trust and inspire [20:37] Trust and inspire [25:02] Barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader [35:23] Inspiring confidence in others [38:35] Trust as human motivation [40:17] Microsoft's Satya Nadella as a trust and inspire leader [41:32] Modeling behavior [43:54] Inspiring leadership [45:24] The power of trust [52:01] Building trust through Co-Creation [54:00] The leadership style of Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom [55:02] The power of modeling in leadership [59:46] Stephen M.R. Covey's motivation for trust and leadership Notable Quotes  [21:07] "We light the fire within; that fire once lit can burn on for months, if not years, without the need for constant external stimuli." - Stephen M. R. Covey [22:10] "To operate with a command and control style is like trying to play tennis with a golf club; it's not relevant to the game being played."- Stephen M. R. Covey [36:25] “Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly. That they come to see it in themselves.” Billy Samoa] [47:22] "When you trust people, they grow, they develop, and they become their best selves because they develop new capabilities." - Stephen M. R. Covey [51:43] “I believe in our world today, not trusting is more often the greater risk.” Stephen M. R. Covey Resources and Links Stephen M. R.

En este episodio de re:INVÉNTATE, exploramos una de las habilidades más poderosas y peor entendidas del liderazgo moderno: el storytelling de liderazgo.¿Crees que liderar es dar órdenes claras y datos precisos? ¿Piensas que las historias son para el marketing, no para liderar equipos? La realidad es que el 95% de las decisiones ejecutivas se toman por historias, no por datos, y los líderes que no dominan esta habilidad están condenados a ser managers olvidables.Pero no hablamos de contar cuentos bonitos o manipular emociones. Hablamos de **conectar auténticamente** a través de narrativas que mueven equipos, transforman culturas y construyen movimientos.En este episodio aprenderás:✅ Por qué Satya Nadella transformó Microsoft con una historia personal, no con una reestructuración.✅ Las 4 dimensiones del Storytelling de Liderazgo: Vulnerabilidad Estratégica, Estructura Magnética, Detalles Cinematográficos y Transformación Colectiva.✅ Cómo Steve Jobs, Reed Hastings y otros líderes icónicos usaron historias para mover millones (de personas y dólares).✅ Un plan específico de 7 días para empezar a liderar con historias desde mañana mismo.Si quieres dejar de ser un manager que da instrucciones y convertirte en un líder que inspira acción genuina, este episodio es para ti.Déjanos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ para ayudarnos a llegar a más personas con este contenido transformador: re:INVÉNTATE en Spotify y Apple Podcasts.¿Tienes preguntas o quieres compartir tus progresos en el desarrollo de este PowerSkill?

MJ DePalma sees marketing as an act of human connection, not a numbers game. As Head of Marketing with Purpose at Microsoft, she helped turn the phrase “inclusion is personalization” into a company-wide growth playbook, and a case study in countless business schools.  In her conversation with Ryan, MJ revisits the day Satya Nadella's growth-mindset culture lured her back to Microsoft, and explains why every KPI should ladder to a single mission.  MJ also warns that a two-degree course error in AI can send brands hundreds of miles off track, and describes how quantum computing may rewrite the rules of brand empathy.
