In Episode 37 of the Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch delivers a direct message to senior leaders: if your strategy is gasping for air, it’s not because of market forces.
It’s because your talent system is running out of oxygen.
Most companies still treat human capital like a support function. They outsource talent, bury it in dashboards, and call it a day with an annual survey. But talent isn’t a department. It’s the oxygen that powers execution, innovation, and resilience.
Jackson breaks down what happens when your best people disengage quietly, why the warning signs are easy to miss, and how legacy systems built for a slower era are suffocating modern performance.
He challenges leaders to stop managing symptoms and start re-architecting the system. This means embedding talent into every business decision, building visibility into flight risks and potential, and speeding up how talent moves internally.
If you’ve been feeling like your strategy has all the right parts but still won’t move, this episode explains why. You might not need a new engine. You just need oxygen.
