Mindset shifts and preparing for change.
Prepare to pivot and grow your leadership skills in the age of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era.
In addition to managing the very real need to instigate and lead the inevitable growth trajectory to advancing businesses, departments and teams to include the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), leaders are tasked with managing the emotional and psychological impact that this change brings on their Human Resources.
More than learning about the best use-cases of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deploying those within their own fields, leaders must also strategize how they will implement the technologies that, to some degree, will replace the tasks that existing employees have espoused in their day-to-day. Considering things like timing, phased approaches, employee involvement and openness to collaborating on restructuring their roles will all play a major role in how compassionately AI roles out.
And as a leader, in the age of AI, human traits like empathy and interpersonal skills like reading a room, are what will set you above the rest.
There will be casualties and this will require heightened emotional intelligence to mentor them through the changes.
"AI is not going to replace managers but managers that use AI will replace those that do not." - Rob Thomas, IBM
