Analysts are raising alarms about the potential for an AI economy bubble, reminiscent of the dot-com crash, as AI-related spending now constitutes about 2% of the U.S. GDP. This surge in investment, particularly following the launch of ChatGPT, has led to significant capital expenditures by major tech firms, consuming a large portion of America's investment pool. As skepticism grows regarding the sustainability of these expenditures, organizations are increasingly shifting their AI workloads from public cloud environments to on-premises systems to ensure better governance, cost predictability, and data privacy.The recent launch of GPT-5 has sparked mixed reactions, yet it is gaining traction in the enterprise market. Early adopters have reported that GPT-5 outperforms competitors in specific tasks, offering faster setups and better results at a lower cost. OpenAI is actively pursuing enterprise clients, expanding its sales team, and exploring financial strategies to bolster its position in the market. Meanwhile, Apple is introducing new tools for businesses to manage employee access to AI services, emphasizing the importance of data protection and governance as AI becomes more integrated into the workplace.Workplace research highlights the benefits of a four-day workweek, revealing that employees experience improved well-being and productivity without a reduction in pay. Additionally, new studies challenge the traditional view on pay transparency, suggesting that greater openness can enhance employee satisfaction. However, immigration policies are creating significant challenges in IT talent management, with a notable decline in H-1B visa registrations, which could hinder the tech industry's growth and innovation.The return-to-office mandates are also impacting the workforce, particularly among working mothers, leading to a decrease in their participation in the labor market. As companies grapple with these changes, there is a growing demand for formal periods of digital silence to enhance productivity and reduce workplace distractions. The podcast emphasizes the need for businesses to focus on outcomes rather than hype, advocating for effective governance, automation, and preparation to adapt to the evolving work environment. Three things to know today 00:00 AI Spending Surge Fuels Bubble Fears Amid Slowing Job Growth and Rising Skepticism04:20 Enterprise AI Shake-Up: GPT-5 Adoption Rises, Apple Tightens Governance, Kaseya Bets on Chat Interfaces08:31 Future of Work in Flux: Shorter Weeks, Pay Transparency, Immigration Crunch, and RTO Fallout This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Practical workplace applications—from chair‑yoga for musculoskeletal relief to empathy training and breathwork for stress resilience. Real, quantifiable returns on corporate well‑being investments, including a 32% drop in absenteeism and 13% increase in revenue, and the caveats around capturing such data. Memorable Quotes: “There were many misconceptions… that it's a practice for skinny white girls, that it's not for men, that it's not for people who are inflexible… we really had to redefine what yoga was.” “We're changing the body's chemistry in order to over time change the brain's architecture… an optimized brain that is not influenced by past experiences that are unhelpful to us.” “If you do three months of yoga… that may not get rid of all your stressors… but… certain meditations can really have an effect even after ten minutes of practicing.” Bio: Bassanti is the co‑founder and CEO of NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga, an award‑winning corporate well‑being services provider specializing in neuroscience‑informed programmes designed to optimise the workforce and bottom line. Having learned yoga from her Indian father at the age of four, and holding accolades from Delhi's International Foundation for Natural Health & Yoga, Harvard, Clark University, and Bonn University, Bassanti brings a unique blend of tradition, science and heart to the table.

That's why stores use it for clearance tags and sales—it screams buy me now!Yellow is like sunshine. It makes your brain feel happy and alert. That's why you'll see yellow on bananas, mustard, or bright sale signs.Green is calming. It reminds us of nature and health. That's why it shows up in produce, organics, and anything eco-friendly.Blue slows us down. It feels safe and trustworthy. That's why so many water bottles, toothpaste boxes, and even banks use blue.Orange is energizing. It makes us feel playful and even a little hungry. Think of pumpkins, Reese's, or Cheetos!Purple is rare in nature, so our brains connect it with luxury or special treats—like grapes, lavender products, or fancy candy wrappers.And then there's black and white.

Todays episode delves into understanding and leveraging second and third-order consequences – the ripple effects that occur after an initial action – and introduces forcing functions, which are an inverted way of thinking about these consequences, designed to drive desired outcomes by first determining "what must be true" for them to occur. The episode also connects these concepts to the importance of effective goal setting, explaining how well-defined goals provide clarity, focus, and a strategic framework for decision-making and career advancement.Grasp Second and Third-Order Consequences: Learn to identify the downstream effects of initial actions. For instance, setting a target for test coverage (first action) might lead to people adding tests that don't genuinely test anything but merely inflate the metric (second-order consequence), potentially resulting in disillusionment with testing or continued incidents despite high coverage (third-order consequence). Conversely, giving someone ownership or autonomy (first action) can lead to them proactively filling out details and owning ambiguity (second-order consequence), which may result in higher quality work, freeing up managerial time, and setting the individual up for promotion (third-order consequence).Utilise Forcing Functions for Desired Outcomes: Understand forcing functions as an inverted approach to consequences, where you begin with a desired outcome and then identify the upstream requirements or desirable effects that must be true for that outcome to be achieved. This method helps to focus efforts on one to three key areas for improvement, rather than trying to enhance everything simultaneously.Implement Effective Forcing Functions: Discover how various elements can act as deliberate or accidental forcing functions:A prioritised backlog acts as a forcing function for essential discussions, decision-making, gathering sufficient information for prioritisation, and ensuring knowledgeable individuals are involved in the process.Presentations, demos, or all-hands meetings serve as powerful social forcing functions, as the desire to avoid the discomfort of not having progress to show incentivises action and preparation.Sprint planning is a forcing function that necessitates a clear understanding of priorities and team capacity for the upcoming sprint.Quality metrics or Service Level Agreements (SLAs), such as a P95 response time, act as forcing functions by requiring other system components to be correctly aligned to meet the target.The choice of technology or tech stack can be a significant forcing function for hiring, unintentionally selecting for specific types of engineers (e.g., Java for enterprise experience, TypeScript for full-stack, functional languages for functional programming experience).Workplace restrictions, like requiring night availability, can be accidental forcing functions, potentially selecting against individuals with community involvement, family commitments, or social lives.Successful hiring and recruiting is a strong forcing function for many positive aspects of a company, indicating technical success, high retention, competitive salaries, and a high standard for talent across the organisation.Harness Goals for Clarity and Focus: Recognise that a well-positioned goal is paramount for finding clarity, perspective, and purpose in your career. Goals provide a framework to make decisions about what to do, ensuring your time is spent on what matters to you rather than just on tasks handed to you, thereby enabling personal career growth.Set Relevant and Directionally Correct Goals: Emphasise the relevance of your goals; even if they are specific, measurable, actionable, and time-bound (SMART), they are ineffective if they are not relevant to your desired career path. Aim for goals that are directionally correct, moving you generally towards a long-term outcome (e.g., leading a project if your long-term aspiration is to lead teams), rather than being paralysed by the pursuit of a "perfect" goal.Leverage Manager Feedback for Goal Setting: If you are unsure how to set goals, consider what your boss would look for in your performance in six months. Proactively engage your manager by initiating conversations about career growth and goal setting, framing it as an opportunity for mutual success and seeking their input on what constitutes a "home run" for your role.Set Sustainable and Challenging Goals: Avoid goals that are too abstract (lacking clear actions) or that significantly over- or underestimate your capacity, as both can lead to disengagement. Instead, strive for challenging but sustainable goals that require focus and making difficult choices (e.g., saying "no" to other things) but do not lead to burnout.Be Mindful of Your Choices: Deliberately choose your forcing functions and become aware of those you are accidentally opting into. Consistently consider the downstream effects (second and third-order consequences) of your actions today, and set goals that imply a desired future state rather than dictating the exact methods. Consistency in this mindful approach to goal setting and understanding consequences is key to long-term career success.

The way we manage people today is built on ideas from over 100 years ago—ideas designed for factory floors, not modern workplaces. Management was originally created to enforce control, standardize behavior, and ensure compliance. Engagement, empowerment, and innovation? None of those were part of the equation. And yet, many organizations still operate with that outdated playbook, whether they admit it or not. In today's Leadership Spark, I break down how the roots of management are still shaping the way we lead today, and why that must change. From the rigid philosophies of Frederick Taylor and Henry Fayol to the mindless “yes sir” culture revealed in David Marquet's story as a submarine captain, we explore the dangers of blind obedience, outdated control models, and transactional leadership. You'll also hear how even the words we use, such as manager, employee, and work still reflect an antiquated, dehumanizing view of the workplace. Things are changing, and if you want to lead the future, better start rejecting the “slave driver and cog” model now and build cultures based on trust, empowerment, and shared responsibility. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

26 Jerks in the Work Place...Are You 27? Your workplace should be a place of growth, teamwork, and purpose—but what happens when one person throws it all off track? In his new book The One-Minute Jerk at Work, Rich Salon—better known as “Rich the HR Guy”—shines a bright light on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic behaviors can creep into your office and derail your career. On this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we'll unpack these behaviors, why they matter, and what you can do about them. Have you ever had a coworker like Wesley the Weasel who constantly takes credit for your ideas, or Micromanaging Maria who micromanages every move, or Rumor Mill Roger who thrives on stirring up drama with Rumors? Rich calls them “one-minute jerks”—people who may only need sixty seconds to poison a conversation, a meeting, or even an entire workplace culture. Together, we'll explore the practical tools from his book that help you identify these jerks early and stop their behavior from taking root. But this conversation isn't just about spotting the jerks around you—it's also about a little self-reflection. Could you be number 27...the one-minute jerk without realizing it? Rich's insights go beyond finger-pointing and invite us to hold up a mirror, recognize blind spots in our own behavior, and make changes that foster trust, respect, and productivity. Whether you're a leader trying to build a stronger team, an employee navigating difficult dynamics, or simply someone who wants to work in a healthier environment, this episode will give you the strategies to create a more positive and effective workplace. Join me, Coach Jay, for this powerful and eye-opening discussion with Rich Salon—because the jerk at work doesn't have to win. Rich Salon's book, "The One-Minute Jerk at Work" is a fun, fast, educational read that you will take with you to work immediately.  You will be diagnosing your co-workers and wondering why they became a "Micromanaging Maria" or a "Pessimist Pete" and how they are disrupting the workplace. The next question is "what can I do about it?" Rich offers suggestions there too. The book also comes with self-reflecting questions that you need to ask yourself.  The fact is we all lack self-awareness and Rich Salon wants to make sure that you are also taking a close look at yourself because while there are 26 mentioned in the book you may be number 27. Insightful, enjoyable and well written, The One-minute Jerk at Work will be a fun read to explore and do some critical self-analysis so you avoid being a "Jerk at Work" yourself.

In this conversation, Dr. Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin, discusses her book “Hate the Game,” that frames life and career decisions as strategic games. She emphasizes the importance of understanding economic principles to navigate personal and professional challenges, negotiate effectively, and reclaim agency in various aspects of life. Fairweather shares insights on overcoming barriers related to race and gender, the impact of information asymmetry, and the significance of designing one's own path in a competitive environment. The conversation highlights the necessity of introspection, strategic thinking, and the ability to adapt in a world that often feels rigged against certain individuals.Takeaways Life can be viewed as a game where strategic decisions matter. Negotiation requires awareness of both your and your employer's options. Workplace bullying can be addressed with strategic approaches. Information asymmetry can hinder career advancement; awareness is key. Barriers in academia can be overcome with strategy and support. Race and gender dynamics play a significant role in economic opportunities. Balancing strategic thinking with empathy is crucial for long-term success.

What happens when tech built to boost performance erodes trust? We unpack the legal, cultural, and human cost—and how leaders can protect psychological safety.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:Imagine discovering that the same workplace tech meant to make your job easier is quietly dismantling trust, blurring boundaries, and draining morale. In this episode of The Hard Skills, we pull back the curtain on how tools like productivity trackers, AI decision-making, and remote monitoring reshape not just workflows—but the culture, safety, and well-being of entire teams. You'll hear how leaders face a growing legal and ethical duty of care in tech-integrated workplaces, and what it takes to meet that responsibility in real terms—not just policy statements. We explore the blind spots that make even well-intentioned technology harmful, the risks that can spiral into legal exposure, and the choices that can either protect or undermine psychological safety.If you've ever wondered whether the systems you've built are quietly shaping a culture you didn't intend, start here. This isn't theory—it's a deep, unflinching look at the human side of workplace tech. ***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Dr. Cameron Stockdale is an internationally recognized leader in organizational behaviour, workplace wellness, and change leadership.

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore the metaphor of "driving through mud" and why sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause and wait. Through stories of muddy farm fields and wrong hiking trails, they discuss how rushing forward when the ground isn't ready can actually do more damage than simply being patient for clarity to come.

A new memo from the Office of Personnel Management claims to protect religious expression in the federal workplace, but it explicitly permits proselytizing, allowing federal employees to attempt to convert coworkers. While it insists these efforts "must not be harassing," the practical reality of defining and reporting harassment—especially when your boss is involved—is a bureaucratic nightmare. This performative stance suggests a solution to a non-existent problem, as religious speech was already permitted. The memo's real aim appears to be to champion specific religious overreach, carving out special protections for "religious beliefs" while conveniently ignoring other deeply held "social, political, or economic philosophies." It's a transparent, and frankly, unnecessary move for a progressive, secular audience.News Source:New memo lets government workers push Christianity on colleagues even if they're the bossBy Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistJuly 28, 2025
