The Hard Truth About AI and Jobs | Shane Driggers

What happens when the executive responsible for people strategy at a Fortune 50 company decides AI is a wave you either ride or get crushed by?

In this episode, Geoff Woods sits down with Shane Driggers, former Chief Talent Officer of T-Mobile, to unpack how one of America's largest companies moved from AI theory to AI practice: from individual adoption, to leadership training at scale, to fundamentally redesigning how work gets done.

Shane shares the moment at a TED conference that changed everything, why T-Mobile's highest rated leadership session of the year wasn't a celebrity speaker, and what happened when his leadership team stopped talking about changing the way they work and actually did it in a single day.

In this conversation: The "ride the wave or get hit by the wave" moment that redefined Shane's career

Why using AI as a thought partner™, not an assistant, changed how T-Mobile leaders think

How a leadership team aligned in one day on decisions that used to take months Why old org structures create material risk in the AI era

The hard truth about job loss, job creation, and the coming war for talent

Why soft skills and human-centered leadership are about to skyrocket in value What every new grads and every people leader needs to hear about agency

Whether you lead HR, a team, or an entire enterprise, this episode is a blueprint for leading workforce transformation while keeping humans at the center.
