Emotionally intelligent leadership for an AI-powered future (INO101)
Key Takeaways
The State of the World and AI
We are living in a "weird world" characterized by climate change, geopolitical instability, the suspension of truth, and the rise of authoritarianism.
AI is accelerating at a pace faster than any other period in human history, leading to fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) as well as the fear of missing out (FOMO) among leaders.
However, AI also presents fantastic opportunities to overachieve (OOTO) and offers limitless outcomes if approached with the right mindset (OOLO).
The Changing Nature of Work
By 2030, 30% or more of work activities will be automated, leaving humans with people-oriented skills like problem-solving, empathy, and active listening as the key to success.
The planning window for companies has condensed, with many leaders unable to make long-term plans due to the rapid pace of change.
The Canan Framework
The Canan framework describes four different relationships between cause and effect: clear, complicated, complex, and chaotic.
Most organizations are operating in the complex and chaotic domains when it comes to adopting AI, requiring an adaptive mindset rather than a technical, analytical approach.
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (Epic)
Epic leadership skills, which focus on emotional and social intelligence, are essential for navigating the uncertainty and ambiguity of the AI-powered future.
Leaders must learn to regulate their stress response and cultivate an adaptable mindset to think creatively and make good decisions.
Optimizing Organizations for Innovation
Building trust, fostering intelligent failures, and promoting generative disagreement are key to creating a culture of innovation and psychological safety.
Leaders must model curiosity, frame work as a learning opportunity, and encourage healthy debate to unlock the collective intelligence of their teams.
