Former LinkedIn CHRO: What Leaders Get Wrong About Culture, AI & Performance
What do most leaders get wrong about culture, performance, and the future of work?
In this episode of One Sharp Sword, Dr. Wayne Pernell sits down with the former first CHRO of LinkedIn and author of Workquake to unpack what actually drives high-performing teams in today’s rapidly changing world.
We discuss:
• Why culture is a leadership responsibility — not HR’s
• How hypergrowth silently breaks communication
• Why learning agility matters more than job security
• The hidden poison in fear-based performance systems
• How AI should enhance people — not replace them
If you’re leading through change, building a high-performance culture, or navigating AI disruption — this conversation is essential.
Trust scales. Bureaucracy suffocates. Leadership decides.
