Year-end HR is chaos. Right now, professionals are facing performance reviews, retention battles, and high-stakes compensation decisions in what Nathaniel Schooler describes as the toughest time in workplace history. With monitoring systems becoming draconian and jobs not just changing but disappearing, the risk of becoming obsolete is no longer a theory—it is a reality.
In this episode, Steven J. Manning, a veteran leader who built a billion-dollar business, joins ex-IBM Futurist Nathaniel Schooler to reveal exactly how to stay relevant when AI is rewriting the rules of business. This isn’t about technical complexity; it’s about the "soft skills" and tactical maneuvers that make you a "must-save" asset during any corporate downsizing.
In this episode, you will discover:
• The 3-Minute Survival Strategy: A simple, casual tactic to put your face on the leadership radar and prove your commitment before your review even begins.
• The "Ivory Tower" Trap: Why the most motivating thing you can do is get into the trenches with your team, and how this human connection is your shield against automation.
• The "Good User" Rule: Why you don’t need to be a technologist to survive. AI won’t replace you, but a professional who uses AI better than you will.
• The Power of Diversity of Thought: The incredible story of how a head janitor became a Creative Director by understanding the customer better than the executives.
• Fixing Failed Expectations: Why most bad reviews are actually a failure of communication, and how to reposition yourself if you’re currently on the "obsolete list".
Stop dragging your heels. If you are resisting the tools of the future, you are becoming a "Luddite" with a shelf-life. This episode provides the proven strategies to ensure that while the workplace shrinks, your value only grows.
