Description

Today's conversation explores what happens when leadership, ethics, and uncertainty collide.

It's easy to talk about values when business is thriving. The real test comes when pressure increases, budgets tighten, technology changes, and difficult decisions have to be made.

In this episode, Debra sits down with business strategist Jennifer Gligoric to discuss ethical leadership, AI adoption, transparency, trust, layoffs, and the responsibility leaders have to the people they serve.

Together they explore:

• The difference between automation and expertise
• The hidden risks of over-relying on AI
• How leaders can maintain trust during difficult transitions
