#364: Your CEO comes back from a leadership offsite talking about burnout-proof leadership and AI transformation at scale. Two weeks later you're working through lunch, you're working through dinner, and Slack never stops. Deployment frequency is up. Incidents are up worse.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Victoria Mensch, Founder and CEO of the Silicon Valley Executive Academy, about what really goes on at those offsites, and why Nokia, BlackBerry and Blockbuster all saw it coming anyway.
