Folks are lining up for their annual seasonal vaccines. But there’s one contagion that a CVS appointment can’t immunize against. “GTA flu” is sweeping the nation—and many workers anticipate “catching” it to call out sick once Grand Theft Auto VI releases on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles on November 19. Others put in paid time off (PTO) requests weeks, even months ahead of the release of the game that critics say is the most anticipated of the decade. That’s according to a new survey by the entertainment company GameSquare and the polling company Pollfish, which polled 1,000 U.S.…

Real human capacity development means measuring growth in judgment and adaptability, not just training completion. Companies have executives responsible for financial performance, technology, operations and human resources. Yet as artificial intelligence transforms work, one question deserves greater attention: Who is accountable for ensuring employees become more capable over time? Not simply better trained or more productive today, but more adaptable, resilient and equipped to navigate tomorrow’s challenges. I believe this responsibility deserves a clearer executive mandate: the…
Over the past few months, it’s become clear that modern AI systems are quite adept at discovering software vulnerabilities and finding ways around cybersecurity defenses. Unintended real-world breaches executed by models from leading AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic during training exercises have drawn widespread concern, and while those companies have restricted access to their most capable models, experts have indicated it’s only a matter of time before less constrained AI systems have similar capabilities. Already, businesses are seeing a rise in cyberattacks, at least partly attributed to AI assistance. And increasingly, the best defense lies in . . .…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Green dashboards don’t necessarily reflect reality. Ask, “What am I missing?” to uncover hidden risks, flawed assumptions and obstacles before they derail a project. Encourage team members to explain risks and propose solutions. Creating a culture where people feel safe raising concerns early builds trust and accountability. End meetings with action. Every concern should lead to a clear decision, an assigned owner and specific next steps. That discipline turns discussion into execution. Every executive has sat through the familiar project review. A dashboard flashes green, yellow and red. Leaders move…

The rep asks for their account number for the third time on the same call.I’ve sat in enough boardrooms to recognize the moment a personalization pitch starts to unravel. Someone walks through the birthday email campaign, the loyalty tier upgrades and the perfectly timed discount code. Everyone nods. Then I ask one question: What happens when that same customer calls with a problem? The room goes quiet, because everyone already knows the answer. That customer is about to repeat their account…
QUESTION: You are right about the government, no matter what they call themselves. Macron’s address blamed Trump for fuel prices and said he had no part in it. Yet he has supported Zelensky and the war with Russia, and as you said, he avoids responsibility for everything. I see your 2032 coming. I didn’t when you were here in Paris. Now, it seems too far away, and it needs to come forward fast. Thank you for the education PGR ANSWER: I fully appreciate that. Five years ago, they would her me say the road ahead comes to an end…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Before adding headcount, tie the decision to a specific metric, like billable hours, open tickets or pipeline volume, that proves demand has outgrown your team’s capacity. Fix unclear roles, missing processes and unaddressed performance issues first, because hiring into chaos spreads it. Several years ago, I worked with a company that had become trapped by one employee.She was exceptionally good at a handful of critical responsibilities. She knew the systems, the customers and the history of the organization. Leadership viewed her as indispensable. Whenever concerns about her behavior surfaced, the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Sites can meet planned checkpoints while relying on workarounds and local adjustments that signal the plan is no longer viable under actual conditions. The real cost appears before the status turns red. Extra coordination, rescheduling, management effort and declining trust accumulate long before delays become visible in enterprise reporting. Tracking more details improves visibility into progress against the plan, but leaders must also assess whether the plan’s assumptions and dependencies still hold. A national company was preparing a network of sites for the launch of a new operating model. Each…
