Will AI take your job?
A better question: How do you become indispensable to your organization as AI transforms the way we work?
Answering this question requires looking at the bigger picture:
- As AI is adopted, the most pressing challenges will demand complex problem-solving occurring in coordinated fashion across your company. Silos won’t work: Leaders will have to operate with a shared reality and adapt plans in unison as new knowledge is created at an ever-increasing pace.
- AI is enabling a more distributed or global workforce. Leaders must be able to foster trust and cohesion among colleagues, including across physical and cultural boundaries.
The Opportunity
Looking ahead, one thing is clear: AI will expand human capacity for insights, but it can’t align the people who need to use that new knowledge together.
There’s never been a more exciting time to be a skilled collaborative leader—someone who can connect and align colleagues.
(For proof, try this: Open your go-to AI tool and type, “Please align my team to our goals.” The response? Likely something like, “While I can’t do that, here’s what you can do…”)
As AI grows, so will the demand for leaders who can connect, align and mobilize multi-functional teams. The opportunity to increase your impact – and job security – has arrived.
