Empathetic leadership in a time of AI disruption

As AI adoption races past the tipping point, empowering some and disrupting others, we are starkly reminded that even technology must begin with people.

Machines will never be leaders, but leaders can have a dramatic impact on readying their people to embrace the technological opportunities ahead of them.

This moment in time calls for leaders with the human skills to keep tech advancement on track while steadying the people driving this transformation. It takes vision, it takes strategy, and most importantly, it takes empathy.

Empathetic leaders understand the need to focus on people first, even before processes and algorithms. But this style of leadership can feel at odds with more traditional results-focused leadership styles.

Yet the studies show that empathy creates psychological safety, which is the key driver of innovation, engagement and growth.
