How do great CEOs successfully transition out of the role?
On Point
Four tips for a better handoff Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Leadership legitimacy. The role of CEO carries great authority. Yet newly appointed executives who rely solely on authority to lead can only partly inspire. Displaying competence is a deeper way to influence, but workers’ support may rise or fall depending on a leader’s performance. New CEOs who gain legitimacy, however, earn the perceived right to lead in the best and worst of times. By acting with integrity, particularly when that comes at a cost—for instance, recalling a dangerous item immediately—leaders earn the trust of employees. [HBR]
• What bad transitions cost. When you’re a celebrated CEO, it’s hard to imagine being unprepared at the end of your career, McKinsey senior partner Carolyn Dewar and coauthors share. But as the transition to a new CEO gets closer, the reality that you’ve never done this before can feel daunting. Unlike Olympic athletes who practice over and over, you’ll only have one very public shot at it, and under emotional strain. Poorly managed C-suite transitions wipe out close to $1 trillion in market value every year in S&P 1500 companies.
• Better CEO handoffs. In a successful relay, the person receiving the baton starts running well before the baton reaches them. The best chief executives work with their directors on succession planning throughout their tenure. For instance, former Intuit CEO Brad Smith spoke to his board every quarter to update them on his succession plan. This helped to ensure there were no surprises when the time came to transition to a new CEO, Smith explains. See four best practices that will benefit any CEO contemplating a transition.

Hybrid is here to stay Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
New from McKinsey & Company
The traditional workplace is no more. During the COVID-19 pandemic, office attendance plummeted, and the hybrid-work model took the reins. The ripple effects have been substantial: A wave of households left the urban cores of superstar cities, and consumers radically shifted the way they shopped. Check out this new report from the McKinsey Global Institute by Jan Mischke, Jonathan Woetzel, Olivia White, Aditya Sanghvi, Rob Palter, André Dua, Sven Smit, and coauthors to understand the extent to which real estate in superstar cities could continue to suffer. Then dive into more insights on the future of office and retail spaces—and peek into the hotel industry in the 2030s and beyond.

An interesting list of subjects that should be mandatory in schools
While academics are essential, it's crucial to acknowledge that many elements in this diagram would have been beneficial to learn earlier.

Credit: Instagram accounts on startup_rulesWhat is FedNow (instant payment)?
JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and other major banks will use the new Federal Reserve's 'FedNow' instant payment system. Let's take a look at how it works.
Federal Reserve launched FedNow instant payment service on 20 Jul. It allows retail clients to send and receive money within seconds and it is available 24x7.
What does this mean?
1. Peer-to-peer payment services in the private sector like Venmo or PayPal act as intermediaries between banks, so we need to leverage payment schemes for clearing and Fed systems for settlement. However, FedNow can directly settle the transactions in central bank accounts. [1]
2. Fedwire, another real-time payments system, will still function in large-value or low-value payments. FedNow is not designed to replace Fedwire.The diagram below shows a comparison between FedNow and ACH (Automated Clearing House), which is used in domestic low-value payments.
FedNow [2]
Step 0 - Bob wants to pay Alice $1000.
Step 1 - Bob initiates a payment transaction using FedNow.
Step 2 - The sender’s bank submits a payment message to FedNow.
Step 3 - The FedNow service validates the payment message.
Step 4 - The FedNow service sends the payment message to the receiver’s bank, where it is confirmed.
Step 5 - The receiver’s bank replies to FedNow, confirming that the payment is accepted.
Step 6 - The FedNow service debits and credits the designated accounts of the sender and receiver’s banks.
Step 7 - The FedNow service notifies the sender’s bank and receiver’s bank that the settlement is complete.
Step 8 - The banks debit and credit the bank accounts.ACH
Step 1 - Bob receives authorization from Alice that he can deduct from Alice’s account.
Step 2 - The payment transaction is sent to the receiver’s bank.
Step 3 - The bank collects files in batches and sends them to the ACH operator.
Step 4 - The ACH operator sends the files to the sender’s bank.
Step 5 - The sender’s bank pulls funds from Alice’s account.
Step 6 - Withdrawn funds are sent to the ACH operator.
Step 7 - The ACH operator distributes funds to Bob’s bank.
Step 8 - Bob receives the fund.
Step 9 - The clearing instructions are sent to Fedwire.
Step 10 - Fedwire sends clearing broadcasts to banks for settlements.

The diagram below shows 5 ways of Inter-Process Communication.
Pipe
Pipes are unidirectional byte streams that connect the standard output from one process to the standard input of another process.Message Queue
Message queues allow one or more processes to write messages, which will be read by one or more reading processes.Signal
Signals are one of the oldest inter-process communication methods used by Unix systems. A signal could be generated by a keyboard interrupt or an error condition such as the process attempting to access a non-existent location in its virtual memory. There are a set of defined signals that the kernel can generate or that can be generated by other processes in the system. For example, Ctrl+C sends a SIGINT signal to process A.Semaphore
A semaphore is a location in memory whose value can be tested and set by more than one process. Depending on the result of the test and set operation one process may have to sleep until the semaphore's value is changed by another process.Shared Memory
Shared memory allows one or more processes to communicate via memory that appears in all of their virtual address spaces. When processes no longer wish to share the virtual memory, they detach from it.

Nine steps for implementing generative AI
The Shortlist
Four new insights Curated by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Twice monthly, we bring you four new insights out of the dozens we publish that we think are worth a second glance from any business leader in any geography. In this edition, we look at concrete steps technologists can take to implement generative AI, ways to juice your company’s sales productivity, and more. We hope you enjoy the read.
—Liz and Homayoun
Everyone’s doing it. Last we checked, around 90 percent of companies are going through some kind of digital transformation. But is everyone doing it right? Signs point to no. Our latest bestselling book, Rewired: The McKinsey Guide to Outcompeting in the Age of Digital and AI, lays out what it really takes to move the needle on digital and AI transformation—and offers tips for getting a stalled transformation back in gear.
Hear authors Eric Lamarre, Kate Smaje, and Rodney Zemmel expand on what companies can do to compete in the modern era of digital and AI in the latest edition of The McKinsey Podcast: What really works when it comes to digital and AI transformations?
We crunched the data to find out. Learn about our three suggested focus areas in How top performers outpace peers in sales productivity, a new article by Paolo Cencioni, Richelle Deveau, Lia Ketola, Philipp Landauer, and Siamak Sarvari.
Take your time—but hurry. Gen AI is on a host of CIO and CTO to-do lists these days. But despite what a lot of nontechnologists might think, tech execs don’t just snap their fingers and immediately conjure up fully formed new tech products. That said, the gold rush is on: companies that orchestrate gen-AI infrastructure the fastest stand to create serious, sustainable value.
We analyzed gen-AI initiatives at more than 50 organizations to isolate nine concrete actions that can help companies create value. To learn more, read Technology’s generational moment with generative AI: A CIO and CTO guide, by Aamer Baig, Sven Blumberg, Eva Li, Douglas Merrill, Adi Pradhan, Megha Sinha, Alexander Sukharevsky, and Stephen Xu.

Which tech trends matter most for organizations in 2023?
On Point
15 technologies to watch Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Geographic winners. From the rise of personal computing to the birth of social media, Silicon Valley’s influence over the global tech sector has lasted decades. The generative-AI boom could strengthen the region’s dominance in technology. One in four generative-AI jobs in the past year were listed in the Bay Area, per a Brookings Institution analysis of about 2,200 job postings in roughly 380 US metro areas. Hubs that become early tech adopters often long benefit from the financial assets and skilled workforces associated with those technologies. [NYT]
• AI’s next frontier. After a tough year for tech talent and investment in 2022, enthusiasm for technology is growing. To help leaders track the latest developments, the McKinsey Technology Council—including chair Lareina Yee and coauthors—identified 15 of the most significant tech trends. Last year’s 14 trends remain relevant. One new trend, generative AI, could add as much as $4.4 trillion in economic value annually. Even so, generative AI is just one of many advances that could propel growth and solve complex challenges.

Senior employees and executives make a common mistake while interviewing. They try to answer the interview questions, instead of focusing on their goals.
It's been a while since I wrote an interview advice article. With the tech layoffs creating a spike in interview coaching demand, I thought that passing along some of my most common feedback would be a good use of my time.
When I was at Amazon, one common complaint I'd hear from newly hired employees was, "I was Under Leveled." What they meant was that they felt that they'd received an offer for a position at a lower level than they deserved.
I distinctly remember one Senior Manager (making in the ballpark of $500k yearly.. yes, poor him), complaining that he'd had 250 people reporting to him at his previous company, and now he only had 25 people. He recognized that Amazon was a great place to be (which was why he took the offer), but he was baffled on how he was leveled like this. It felt like a step back in his career.
How does being under leveled happen to someone? How can you avoid it happening to you?
In the case of that Senior Manager, I took the time to investigate his interview notes to see what had happened. It turns out he made literally all the mistakes I outline below.
I regularly coach senior leaders and executives on interviewing. They're applying for roles at companies like Amazon for Principal, Director, and VP positions. In my first practice round with these employees, many of them made the same mistakes.
It's predictable and avoidable. And it all comes down to not concentrating on your goals.
What are your goals in answering interview questions?
Let's say that I ask a question like, "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a co-worker." It's a very common question.
Now, what is your goal here? Is your primary goal to tell me a story in which you disagreed with a co-worker? No. Because you might have a story which has a great conflict, but it won't accomplish your actual goals. What's the potential problem with your stories?
First, if you answer the question in a way that doesn't convince me to hire you for the job, you've failed.
Second, if you answer the question in a way that suggests that you're a lower level employee than you actually could be, you've failed.
You have two major goals.
You want to answer every question in a way that convinces me to hire you, and your answers should convince me that you're at the maximum possible/reasonable seniority.
But maximum possible seniority? That doesn't seem fair. Feels like gaming the system.
The interviewing system is stupid, inaccurate, inconsistent, and many other insulting words. We haven't invented a better scalable system, but it's not great at making fair decisions.
When in doubt, people will put you at a lower level.
When in doubt, people won't hire you at all.
You want to send the message that you're super remarkable, super valuable, and absolutely at the target level (if not higher).
Understand that your interviewer gets an incredibly short period of time with you. They take those tiny hints of data, and make gigantic assumptions about your capabilities and past performance.
Many of the most impressive career jumps people have made were when they interviewed incredibly well. I've heard of engineers at Amazon jumping two or three levels when interviewing at other companies. I've heard of managers jumping from 18-person teams to 800-person teams through a great interview.
Don't leave career growth or opportunity on the table. Think of the message you're sending.
Communicating Seniority with Peers and Interactions
You talk to someone at a dinner party. They say that they manage teams at Google. That sounds pretty cool to you. Google is a neat company. However, you have no idea how smart they are, or how important they are at Google. They could be an entry-level manager, or a VP.
Then they mention that they had a fun discussion with a VP the other day about AI.
Wham. You're now convinced that they're a senior employee. Certainly, not entry level. They are likely Director or VP level.
How does that work? Because you tend to interact with people around your level of seniority.
Is this fair? Nah. But it's how things work. We deal with practical things in this newsletter.
How can you use that information in an interview?
"Tell me about a time you disagreed with a coworker."
I've had senior leaders, managers of 100+ people, say something like:
"There was a college graduate, newly hired onto the team. As we were kicking off a new project, they said.."
You just announced to your interviewer that the most serious disagreement you had with a co-worker was with an entry-level hire. It sounds to me like you're a line manager (at best).
If you're answering a question where you discuss your peers, or someone you interact with, you must explain a situation where you're communicating with someone at the seniority you're aiming for. If you're interviewing for a Director level position, your interaction must be with other Directors or VPs.
"During a meeting, the VP of Marketing for North America asked..."
There we go. Now you're clearly a senior employee...

Are you offering the right rewards to middle managers?
On Point
Make middle management a destination Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Tight squeeze. Middle managers face a tricky balance between carrying out leadership’s directives or implementing new policies and motivating their direct reports. What people want from work (development in addition to flexibility and higher pay) has changed, but managers often don’t have the training or time to deliver these requests. A 2022 study of 20,000 workers found that more than 50% of managers identified as burned out. Executives who provide feedback in the form of coaching—rather than demands—can help managers feel more supported, a senior leader says. [FT]
• The heart of it all. Management hierarchies—climbing the ladder through a series of linear promotions—might not appeal to everyone. Not every individual contributor wants to manage people, and not every middle manager desires a corner office. Think of middle managers as the connective tissue between tasks and the people who execute them. Organizations lose valuable employees when they get promoted to positions they don’t enjoy, according to McKinsey partner Emily Field and colleagues (authors of the new book, Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work).
• Rethink promotions. Many companies are still in the dark about how to promote top performers while keeping them in the same role. Effective organizations, however, recognize the need to reward inspiring middle managers without drastically changing what they love about their jobs. This model works in the trades, where apprentices eventually become masters in their field. Some companies also allow people in technical roles to take a technical-career track, rather than appointing them to lead a team. Learn how to retain superstar middle managers without promoting them out of the roles that energize them.

Generative AI and the future of work in America
Download the full report Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
Since the pandemic, the way we think about work has dramatically evolved—remote and hybrid work have become commonplace and companies are quickly adopting automation technologies such as generative AI. Meanwhile, a remarkable number of workers in the US are changing jobs—more than 8 million occupational shifts took place from 2019 through 2022 and an additional 12 million occupational shifts are expected by 2030. How should we make sense of all of this? In a new McKinsey Global Institute report, McKinsey’s Kweilin Ellingrud, Saurabh Sanghvi, Gurneet Singh Dandona, Anu Madgavkar, Michael Chui, Olivia White, and Paige Hasebe explain the forces that are affecting the US labor market, including the potential of generative AI boosting productivity in the US. Be sure to download the full report as you navigate the future of work.
