Securing the AI Wild West: A Conversation with Elad Schulman, CEO of Lasso

Employees of all generations desire—and deserve—workplaces where they feel respected and are validated for their ideas, efforts, and contributions, every day. As we're witnessing right now, when a company culture falls short of those expectations, top talent is cutting the lifeline that has tethered them to their old employers and old, autocratic leaders (often afflicted with what we call Boomer Male Syndrome or BMS). In record numbers, good people are leaving bad companies—or at least bad company cultures. To retain and attract top talent, today's leaders must now work with all stakeholders (not just shareholders) to co-create an uncompromising company culture where employees can expect respect while helping drive results. In other words, they must ensure good comes first.

For decades, talented people have tolerated old-school leaders who put results before respect, toxic company cultures, and workplaces that suck. But those days are over, and if leaders want to attract and retain the best employees—while improving productivity, customer service, employee satisfaction, and profits—it’s time for them to create work cultures where good comes first.The problem is that because the corporate world has too often been driven primarily by results, we seldom ask leaders to change their work cultures. Even if we did, most leaders don’t have the know-how. This book provides the actionable inspiration and practical direction needed to make that change happen.In Good Comes First, Chris and his co-author Mark S. Babbitt present proven strategies that help senior leaders define, align, and refine a purposeful, positive, and productive work cultures - cultures where good comes first for employees, customers, leaders, and stakeholders—and where improved business outcomes quickly follow."
