Podcasts about tech tide

Tech stocks continuing their run on Tuesday, with Nvidia clocking yet another all-time high. But while tech is up over 10% this month, energy and staples are taking it on the chin. So why is one sector's success coming at the expense of so many others? Plus the CEOs of Tesla and JPMorgan making their first trips to China in years. What it means for the growing tensions between the U.S. and Beijing. Fast Money Disclaimer

Virtually all tech companies have expressed caution on their respective earnings calls. And why not… the macroeconomic environment is full of uncertainties and there's no upside to providing aggressive guidance when sellers punish even the slightest miss. Moreover, the spending data confirms the market is softening across the board, so it's becoming expected that CFOs will guide cautiously. But companies facing execution challenges can't hide behind the macro. Which is why it's important to understand which firms are best positioned to maintain momentum through the headwinds and come out the other side stronger. In this Breaking Analysis we'll do three things: 1) Share a high-level view of the spending squeeze almost all sectors are experiencing; 2) Highlight some of those companies that continue to show notably strong momentum – and relative high spending velocity on their platforms – albeit less robust than last year; and 3) give you a peek at how one senior technology leader in the financial sector sees the competitive dynamic between AWS, Snowflake and Databricks. 

Tom Peters Breaks It All Down For Us Tom Peters is co-author of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business and often tagged as the best business book ever. Seventeen books and thirty-five years later, Tom is still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented. What's new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all it's worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.” His most recent effort is The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last. Tom's bedrock belief is: “Execution is strategy—it's all about the people and the doing, not the talking and the theory.” In November 2017, Tom received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. And it looks like he's nowhere near done. This was a tremendous conversation. If you're a leader, or you hope to be one someday, you will learn a lot from Tom.

Twitter, Social Media, Quotes, Excellence, Listening   Summary   The challenge of communicating effectively on Twitter can actually help us to be better communicators. We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. Then in the second segment, we'll look at a few powerful tweets and then expound on them a bit in order to attain an even deeper understanding. That and more on today's show.   Bob's Thought of the Day   We'll explore:   Why Twitter can be a hotbed for misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and an insult or two. The importance of caring enough to ask ourselves how what we are about to say (and how we are about to say it) will likely be interpreted by the other person. Why we must train ourselves to communicate in a way that works for everyone involved.    Segment 2   You'll discover several timeless, wisdom-filled quotes and why they are so powerful:   "Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." –Ruth Bader Ginsburg, former United States Supreme Court Justice "Excellence is not an ‘aspiration.' Excellence is not a 'hill to climb.' Excellence is the next five minutes. Or it is nothing at all.” –Tom Peters, author of The Excellence Dividend "The older I grow the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment." –Benjamin Franklin, inventor, printer, and United States diplomat Click to Tweet   The challenge of communicating effectively on Twitter can actually help us to become better communicators.

Today's interview is with Tom Peters, author of numerous business books (18 in total) and speaker. He is, perhaps, best known for his 1982 seminal book: In Search of Excellence (co-authored with Robert H. Waterman Jr). This is the second time that Tom has been on the podcast. The first time was in 2018 (Striving for excellence has never been more important) where we talked about his latest book: The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last. Today he joins me to talk about the need for Extreme Humanization given the situation we currently find ourselves in and a couple of pieces that he has recently penned: Excellence Manifesto 2020: The Twenty-Nine “Number Ones” and Excellence 2020 Observations Leading With Compassion And Care In Troubled Times. This interview follows on from my recent interview – A lot of enterprise software is still eye-wateringly terrible and it's acting like a handbrake on experience improvement efforts – Interview with Leon Gauhman of Elsewhen – and is number 348 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

Two years ago I was fortunate enough to interview one of my business heroes—management legend and author Tom Peters. This was a once-in-a-lifetime podcast event. Or so I thought. A couple of weeks ago, Tom reached out again wanting to talk about the unique challenges of leadership and work in these troubling times. I couldn't wait to catch up with Tom and to share our conversation with you. Enjoy! About Tom Peters Tom Peters is co-author of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business and often tagged as the best business book ever. Seventeen books and thirty-five years later, Tom is still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented. What’s new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all it’s worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.” His most recent effort is The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last (Vintage, 2018). Tom’s bedrock belief: “Execution is strategy—it’s all about the people and the doing, not the talking and the theory.” In November 2017, Tom received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. Episode Highlights Excellence in leadership now. “The way that leaders behave relative to the people that work with them throughout this crisis—let's call it the last two months and the next 2–3 months—what they do and the way in which they do it will be the landmark of their adult career.” Tom opened our conversation with this call for caring and compassionate leadership.  Advice for grads and MBAs today. At the Tippie College of Business where I teach, we talk a lot about what's changing today for our students at all levels. That's why I asked Tom how undergrads should plan for a career in this new world of work and how MBAs should build employee engagement and connection. He had three tips:  (1) “We don't know yet. Don't believe that you can read two articles in the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company and have a formula. (2) Experiment. (3) Calm down.” What should you do with your next five minutes? “Excellence is the ultimate short-term strategy.” While most think of excellence as something big that happens slowly over time, Tom is quick to note that it's really about the next five minutes. As such, I asked Tom what we should do with our next five minutes in the midst of COVID-19: “Ask people how they're doing. Ask them how they feel. Ask about their families.” What brand has made Tom smile recently? Tom shared his love for his Subaru Outback including a story about getting caught speeding in it on Martha's Vineyard!

Striving for excellence has never been more important - Interview with Tom Peters, author of numerous business books (18 in total) and speaker. He joins me to talk about his latest book: The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last, what companies should be focusing on in the face of rapidly evolving technology, why striving for excellence is more important than ever, what that means and how we can put excellence at the heart of everything we do.

Bill Sheridan is the Chief Communications Officer at the Maryland Association of CPAs and the host of Future-Proof, a podcast in which Bill has interviewed a wide variety of leading thought leaders in the accounting profession and in corporate America. We discuss whether the profession is moving in the direction of becoming more future-proof, or future-ready, through the lens of the conversations he’s been having with his guests for nearly a year. So, let’s get right to it: is the profession future-proof? The short answer is no, we're not future-proof or future-ready yet – but we're getting there. However, we might be getting there a little slower than Bill and the other folks over at the MACPA hoped. “It seems like they're starting to realize that this stuff is real. It's not going away. In fact, it's starting to impact them right now, and they need to pay attention to it. So, that's encouraging that they are starting to pay attention,” Bill says. And in a way, this seeming reluctant to look forward makes sense for the accounting and finance profession. “When you think about the profession itself, accounting and finance will spend their entire careers looking behind them. By definition, they're accounting for things that have happened in the past. “So, turning around, and looking through the windshield, and noticing what's coming at you, isn't a muscle that they've spent a lot of time building. And so, they're just starting to do that now. And the more they do it, the better they'll get at it.” Becoming future-ready starts with being aware of what's going on. It comes back to the idea of the anticipatory organization, an idea championed by MACPA President and CEO Tom Hood. In this sense, anticipation a three-step process: aware, predict, and adapt.  So, first step, being aware of change. That involves asking questions and start to understanding it. Next is predicting what will happen. So, now that I'm aware of it, what kind of impact is this going to have on me and the people that I work with? And then, finally, adapting. What can we actually do about it? For example, here's a question for accounting and finance pros out there: how can you take advantage of 5G in a way that will benefit the people that you work with?  “That's the muscle that we have to start building. We know this is coming, and in very short order. So, what are the opportunities embedded in something like that? And we need to start thinking about that now before it hits mainstream and evolves into something else.” So becoming anticipatory is the practice of building that muscle – because change is going to happen over and over. “We need to be able to help walk our clients and customers into the future. In order to do that, we need to be there before them,” Bill says. Change Your Mindset is now being distributed on C-Suite Radio.

Author and management expert Tom Peters talks with Recode’s Kara Swisher about his new book, “The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last.” Peters says artificial intelligence may have profound effects on the workforce, but workers who commit themselves to daily reeducation will “flourish” amid the turbulence. He also argues that Silicon Valley has become a “moral cesspool,” as leaders like Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg dodge tough questions and shirk responsibility when their platforms are misused.
