All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett

AI is changing more than the way we work. It's challenging the future of employment, the middle class, economic growth, and even what it means to be human. On this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, Jeffrey sits down with Denis Jacquet, entrepreneur, author, investor, global speaker, visionary on AI and digital transformation, and candidate for the presidency of France. Denis shares why this technological revolution is fundamentally different from those that came before it, why business and political leaders aren't prepared for its consequences, and what happens when AI begins replacing not just manual labor, but the cognitive work that has traditionally supported the middle class. Drawing from his new book, Rehumanize: A Guide for State Leaders, Denis challenges leaders to look beyond technological advancement and consider the human, economic, and societal consequences of AI. The question isn't whether AI will transform our world. It's whether we'll be ready to manage that transformation. It's time to think bigger about technology and put humanity back into the equation.

In this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, Jeffrey sits down with Alan Guarino, Vice Chairman of Korn Ferry and author of "The Greatness Code," for a candid look at what actually separates great leaders from the merely credentialed. A West Point graduate and former Army captain who went on to build and sell his own executive search firm before joining the world's largest talent consultancy, Guarino brings decades of boardroom experience to a conversation about authenticity, self-awareness, and the hard work of earning trust.   The two dig into why followership, not authority, is the real measure of leadership, and why hubris remains the number one derailer of executives who should know better. Guarino shares what he calls "radical transparency," the value of facing hard truths head-on rather than skirting the elephant in the room, and how military lessons on duty and accountability shaped his approach to advising CEOs. They also cover the post-COVID shift toward hybrid work, what boards really need from a CEO to build trust, and the toughest conversations Guarino has had behind closed doors with leaders who needed to hear an uncomfortable truth.
