AI is advancing rapidly, permeating many aspects of workplace life and the pace of adoption will increase, but what does that mean for leadership?
In this Leadership Unscripted episode, Rich and Dave explore why the rise of artificial intelligence doesn’t reduce the need for human-centred leadership, it makes it more essential.
Rich brings a rare dual perspective using his experience as a former senior IT leader coupled with his expertise as a highly experienced leadership coach. Together, they unpack the real limits of AI models like ChatGPT, including their lack of true understanding, ethical reasoning, and emotional intelligence.
They make the clear case for Connected Leadership, a leadership approach that emphasises emotional intelligence, relational trust, coaching skills, the importance of intuition and meaning making, all things that AI simply cannot replicate.
Far from resisting AI, leaders need to partner with it wisely, while doubling down on distinctly human leadership skills that create trust, engagement, and long-term business impact.
🔑 Key Talking Points:
- The perfect storm of technological, social, and economic disruption
- Why AI should be a thinking partner, not a decision maker
- The difference between data processing and contextual judgment
- The limits of AI’s “hallucinations” and factual unreliability
- The enduring value of emotional intelligence, coaching, and psychological safety
- The business case for connected, ethical, and values-based leadership
- The risk of faster communication replacing deeper leadership conversations
