The fundamental #leadership challenge today is not so much to #reskill and #upskill people so they can leverage #AI , since #genAI does not require major technical or hard skills, but rather to incentivize and motivate people so that they can reinvest the time they save on rewarding and fulfilling activities, that allow them to #futureproof themselves and their careers thanks Microsoft for the invite to discuss the opportunities (and risks) for the human-AI age!

AI is transforming industries faster than we could have imagined, and as Jim Kavanaugh’s interview highlights, waiting for perfection may mean missing the boat. This rapid pace of change requires leaders to be agile, making informed decisions with the right balance of foresight and adaptability. But beyond technical innovation, how are we integrating AI into leadership itself? Could AI help leaders make better decisions, improve team dynamics, or even drive organizational culture? The implications of combining AI with leadership are exciting to consider. How do you see AI reshaping the way we lead? #Leadership #AI #Innovation #TechTransformation #FutureOfWork

We’ve all heard the warnings that AI is going to take our jobs. That’s certainly a possibility in the long term, but the story emerging, at least for now, is looking a little different. Instead of thinking about AI as a cheap way to replace people, David De Cremer invites us to use AI as a tool to augment human intelligence. That’s a key distinction he shared on this week’s episode of the Coaching for Leaders podcast. David is the Dunton Family Dean of the D'Amore-McKim School of Business and professor of management and technology at Northeastern University. He recently released his newest book: The AI-Savvy Leader: Nine Ways to Take Back Control and Make AI Work. Key points from his conversation with Dave Stachowiak: 1. AI is substantially different than prior digital transformations, and adoption efforts are failing at alarming rates. 2. Instead of leading, too often leaders are being too deferential to data and analytics teams. 3. Your expertise is exactly what your organization needs to deploy AI successfully. 4. Leaders who learn the fundamentals of AI will play an essential role in narrating dialogue between the technology experts and everyone else. 5. Get just enough foundational knowledge with statistics and modeling to communicate with the data and analytics folks better. The full transcript, audio, and notes are linked in the comments.
