People Work now works with Agents! Here's an example of my demo manager onboarding. 😁 Read about our AI journey to get here in this month's newsletter:

We know of an app that can help with that. :)

If teaching forces clarity, and clarity is amplified by AI, leading to better business outcomes, then teaching juniors is a win-win. @fallthrough.fm

Having a mentorship culture does have an ROI justification... Catch the rest on the Fallthrough podcast!

"AI is very accommodating to whatever foolishness you want to get yourself into." Yessss. So how do we get clarity on what we should be doing. Catch the full episode at: youtu.be/b-1EZ0yNW8A?... Catch the full after-show at: youtu.be/i72XE05xEq4?... @fallthrough.fm

Maybe all you're missing is a system to help : - align with stakeholders - guide those looking to you for leadership - partner with your teammates - network with those you want to create a culture of shared values with Start building your relational intelligence today, and see what changes for you.

Your company's success with AI may not happen how you think. It will merely amplify the culture that already exists. Less about tech, more about clarity and empathy. In case you missed it: people-work.io/blog/ai-magn...

Here's our year end review! We're really proud of what we've built and how it's helping people to get clear on their careers. Great things are happening, and GA in January! mailchi.mp/bdde18557cf2...

AI is like an HGTV show from the early 2000s. If you mention that you like trains, suddenly your bedroom is a caboose. It magnifies whatever context you give it. In this post, I use Mitchell Hashimoto as the poster-child for how to do it right. people-work.io/blog/ai-magn...

The act of training juniors develops skills in the trainers that they couldn’t get otherwise. The practice of investing in juniors benefits the entire team. people-work.io/blog/junior-...

Students don't have to lose hope in this job market! Just get intentional about building relational intelligence in parity with your skillset. This works for folks of all ages. :) See the full post in the first comment.

We're setting ourselves up for a timing mismatch at best if we continue to replace juniors with AI. This is obviously bad for juniors, but it's bad for teams. Read the full post, and tell me what you think. What's your team doing? AI full bore, continuing to invest in juniors, a little of both?

The apprenticeship ladder is breaking down, and we may want to rethink what we're doing to contribute to that. Here is the full post for more context: people-work.io/blog/junior-... Studies referenced: digitaleconomy.stanford.edu/wp-content/u... papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Companies replace junior eng positions with AI + Senior engineers have been excused from mentorship responsibilities + Companies optimize for immediate results = A systemic issue that no one person can fix But here's what I think we can do about it: people-work.io/blog/junior-...

Because intentional relationship building is at the hear of the People Work app, it was designed to help with just such a thing. Read the attached post for more info!

It informs everything we do...

Been thinking a lot lately about how to onboard strategically so you don’t end up in a rut down the line. dev.people-work.io/blog/the-onb...
