How do you transform your organization while driving growth in the business? How companies really drive effect change in people? Michael Tushman, Harvard business professor and proliferative researcher and writer on the dynamics of organizational architecture and transformation, joins me in this episode to discuss this and more. Listen as he challenges leaders to recognize an important distinction that companies often struggle with: the tension between “exploiting”—executing your existing strategy better than anybody else—and the need for “exploring”—discovering what you need to build for tomorrow. How can companies do both of these things…and what factors contribute to their success or failure? Mike’s perspective on these seemingly contradictory impulses helped open up my thinking about #culture, #leadership and #innovation as we strive to evolve the biopharma commercialization and operating model towards the future. #Pharma leaders who are wrestling with these same challenges will find his ideas useful, too.

#AI isn't going to change everything. As much as I'm in the tank for Team #GenAI and think it's imperative that everyone, especially communicators and marketers, get on board, AI cannot and will not build trust and strengthen our relationships. At work, it won't replace your responsibility or capacity to be a leader and trusted advisor. For that, you'll need to develop leadership skills and know your business at least as thoroughly as your peers. AI may be able to help you get there, but you can't outsource leadership. This week I had an eye-opening discussion about all of this on The Trending Communicator with my friend and returning guest David J. Albritton, PCC. David - arguably a #communications legend - has been a Naval Public Affairs officer, a CCO, a CEO of a defense company, and is currently an executive coach and strategic advisor to Fortune 500 leaders. We covered a lot of ground - tune in to hear about: ➡ The evolving role of communications professionals in the face of AI, misinformation, and declining institutional trust ➡The importance of building authentic relationships in hybrid and remote work environments ➡Strategies for communicators to become trusted business partners and influence organizational success ➡How generative AI can enhance personal career growth and understanding of business operations ➡The enduring qualities of effective leadership amidst technological and societal changes ....and much more.
