What happens when a company is hacked? Turns out a little-known network of small firms quietly negotiates with the bad guys to get the data back for the company. We take a rare, behind-the-scenes look at ransomware, which one survey found is now the number one concern for the C-suite.

In the first half of this year, CEO turnover hit a new high—and it’s not yet showing signs of slowing down. It’s a potentially massive disruption to firms, but few can really explain it. Join us as we get to the bottom of this CEO mystery.

The latest science says people’s ability to think continuously on one topic (i.e., pay attention) has fallen sharply—almost 70% in two decades. That’s a real threat both to day-to-day operations and innovations that come from the deep thinking that companies thrive on. We explore what can be done to bring focus back into the workplace.

Bosses are saying come back to the office and workers are saying… “We’ll pass”. With one survey showing 73% of organizations struggling to get employees back into cubicles, we examine how leaders can take a fresh approach to resolving this ongoing tug-of-war.

Are workers really losing a measurable amount of brain power -  the kind leaders rely on to innovate? Are CEOs really turning to a secretive world of underground negotiators to pay off millions of dollars to hackers? And what's the real reason people won't return to work?  We know everyone has a podcast on leadership. But when we say a "new deep dive" into leadership, we mean it. Every two weeks, our Emmy-award winning host Jill Wiltfong heads up an informative - and entertaining - episode that is part interview, part scenario creation, and we hope 100% fun!  It's brought to you by Korn Ferry and the company's thought leadership magazine, Briefings.   Watch this episode https://krnfy.bz/3RKLaPB For more information, check out www.kornferry.com/briefings-podcast  Follow us on www.instagram.com/kornferry/
