Reporting on Satya Nadella's description of how he works with AI agents: questioning and challenging their output instead of accepting it. A concrete example of how a major executive says he uses AI day to day.
An Amazon company-news post in which CEO Andy Jassy outlines how Amazon is using generative AI across its businesses and what he expects it to mean for the company's workforce. Published by Amazon about its own plans.
Joe Hudson and Brett Kistler's podcast on emotional intelligence, relationships, leadership and decision-making.
Why I recommend it: The podcast is free. The same company sells paid courses and coaching, which the episodes sometimes promote.
Free worksheets and tools from Collaborative Gain for workplace collaboration and team decision-making.
Why I recommend it: A consultancy's free tools — the page blocked our automated check, and it may ask for your email. Expect sales follow-up for paid services.
A free one-hour online session on September 28, 2026 (1–2 p.m. ET) about helping middle managers turn a company's AI plans into everyday team habits. Speakers: Michael Domanic (Head of AI, Section) and Monika Saha (Chief Commercial Officer, Articulate).
Details: Free RSVP, but it asks for your work email, company and job title. Section sells AI training to companies, so expect the session to also promote their services. Useful mainly if you manage a team or want to.
Manoush Zomorodi (NPR's TED Radio Hour) coins p(joy) as a deliberate counterpoint to p(doom), the probability-of-catastrophe number traded around AI circles: instead of estimating disaster, estimate whether satisfying moments are increasing in your life and what reliably creates them. The second half is a long interview with Brian Elliott of Work Forward on knowledge work right now — identity loss as machines take a skill you spent decades building, cognitive overload from supervising AI agents, and executives privately saying their best people and heaviest AI users are the likeliest to quit. Elliott's summary: human-led, AI-enabled, because nobody's competitive advantage is being average faster.
Why I recommend it: Read this the next time an AI doom number is quoted at you as though it were measured. The piece cites Gizmodo's plain point that no one at the frontier labs has an actual method for producing a p(doom) figure. The useful part is Elliott's three patterns in companies getting value from AI: a scorecard covering business impact, quality and employee engagement rather than tool usage; aiming at teams instead of individuals; and leaders using the tools in public, mistakes included. Free to read in full, no paywall.
Free profile of Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp by Peter Westberg for Quartr, covering his background, leadership style and Palantir's move from niche defence contractor to a large listed company. Published 8 May 2024, updated 24 September 2025.
Why I recommend it: Quartr sells tools to investors, so this reads as a business profile rather than a critical examination of what Palantir's software is used for. Pair it with reporting from outside the investing world.
Palantir's own investor-relations page listing its executive team — Alex Karp, Stephen Cohen, Shyam Sankar and colleagues — with official titles and start dates.
Why I recommend it: A primary source, not commentary: use it to get names, titles and dates right before quoting anyone. It says what the company chooses to say about itself.
A regularly updated free collection of articles, videos, podcast appearances, research findings, books and downloadable tools on the future of work, from Brian Elliott's advisory firm Work Forward. Filterable by format and by topic — career development, culture at work, diversity and inclusion, flexibility, generative AI, leadership and management, return to office, technology adoption, and time and meeting management.
Why I recommend it: The downloadable tools are the part worth your time — they give you language for asking a manager about flexibility or AI workload without sounding like you are complaining. Elliott founded Future Forum at Slack and is unusually blunt about not trusting vendor-published studies, which is a point in his favor. Still: this is an advisory firm's library, so it exists to demonstrate expertise it sells. Read it for the questions, not the verdicts.
A free, live, online one-day conference on 22 October 2026 with 122 speakers across four tracks: BUILD (building with and of AI), LEAD (managing an AI-native organisation), SECURE (trust and safety) and a business track. Sessions are 30-minute practical implementation talks from engineers and managers at OpenRouter, Microsoft, Accenture, Qualcomm, CVS Health, Mastercard, Anaconda, Illumina and MITRE. The organisers state there are zero vendor pitches. Registration is free; the site also publishes free directories of AI conference dates, deadlines and free virtual events.
Details: Worth the calendar slot if you want to hear how AI is actually being shipped inside large companies rather than how it is marketed — the 30-minute implementation format and the no-vendor-pitch rule are the reasons. Register free and pick the track that matches your job; the talks run in parallel, so you cannot see everything live. Check their own page for whether replays are posted, and confirm the start time in your own time zone.
A paid fellowship for emerging leaders in social entrepreneurship, economic development, and the nonprofit sector. Fellows commit 20 hours a week from November 5, 2026 through June 30, 2027, work directly with the founder and team, and receive an $8,000 stipend on successful completion. Focus areas include leadership development, strategic planning, program design, research and data analysis, and community engagement.
Why I recommend it: Free to apply and it pays you — a rare combination. Read the time commitment honestly before applying: 20 hours a week for eight months is a real obligation alongside school or another job. Dates and the stipend amount are taken from their page as of September 2026; confirm both with the organization before you plan around them.

Why I recommend it: Read these directly rather than through summaries — they are the source most AI-safety coverage is quoting.
A one-page cheat sheet covering the five rules of effective communication, the three types of conversation (informational, emotional, social) and twenty persuasive phrases you can use in real conversations.
Why I recommend it: Print it and keep it beside you for a week of meetings and interviews. The twenty phrases are the part people actually use.
A LeadDev article by Annie Vella on running a technical discussion you do not have all the answers for — framing the problem, drawing people out, and closing with a decision.
Why I recommend it: Free to read, though LeadDev asks for a free account after a few articles. The point that you can lead a discussion without being the expert is the one to take into your next meeting.
Executive Speakers Bureau on choosing a speaker for an exhausted team facing constant change — what actually lands with fatigued audiences and what makes burnout worse.
Why I recommend it: Useful from both sides — if you book speakers, and if you speak. The read on what a tired room can actually absorb applies to any presentation you give.
A coach's free resource page with career and leadership guides, templates, and reading recommendations.
Why I recommend it: I keep an eye on what other coaches give away for free. There is usable material here without a call booked or a card entered.

Why I recommend it: Short, honest writing about the parts of career growth that do not fit in a framework. Worth a subscription.
Collection of executive-level resume samples across industries, showing format, length, and how senior accomplishments are framed.
Why I recommend it: Look at these for structure, not wording. Senior resumes lead with scope and results — that is the pattern worth copying.
LeadDev's annual research report on how AI is reshaping engineering teams, productivity, and leadership decisions.
Why I recommend it: Useful for managers and ICs who want data, not hype, on how AI tools are actually changing engineering work.
