TalentPredix™
For decades, competency frameworks have served as the foundation for how organisations recruit, assess, and develop their people. Born from McClelland’s pioneering work in the 1970s, the competency movement gave HR teams a much-needed structure to define “what good looks like.” But today, in a fast-changing world of hybrid work, AI, and dynamic team collaboration, these traditional models are showing their age.
In short, what got us here won’t get us there.
While widely adopted, competency models often fall short for three key reasons:
Add to that the fact that they’re often bloated, abstract, and overwhelming. It’s therefore no surprise that many HR and talent leaders are looking for a better way.
Today’s talent wants more than a competency checklist. They want work that energises them, leaders who coach them, and development that reflects their individual strengths, motivations, and values.
And organisations? They need adaptive, creative, purpose-aligned people who can learn fast, collaborate well, and thrive in ambiguity.
This requires a shift from rigid competency models to dynamic strengths + skills + values frameworks – ones that evolve with the individual and the organisation.
A strengths-powered approach offers a powerful alternative by:
✅ Focusing on what people do best – helping them build on their unique talents instead of obsessing over weaknesses.
✅ Creating energising performance conversations – where employees feel seen, valued, and supported.
✅ Aligning work to personal values and purpose – increasing engagement and long-term motivation.
✅ Encouraging creative ways to manage around limitations – through team design, smart delegation, tech, or collaboration.
This isn’t just “soft” stuff, it’s strategic. Research shows that strengths-based cultures lead to a multitude of positive outcomes, including higher productivity, better retention, improved creativity and stronger business outcomes.
The future of work demands more than ticking boxes on a behavioural checklist. It calls for agile, real-time application of diverse skills and strengths – the ability to adapt fast, co-create across boundaries, and lead with clarity and confidence in an ever-evolving world.
That means talent strategies must:
Tools like TalentPredix™ are helping forward-thinking organisations do just that – providing deep insight into people’s strengths, values, and career drivers, and turning this insight into actionable development strategies.
To make this shift, HR and talent leaders must partner with executives willing to rethink outdated people systems. Leadership must move beyond order, compliance, and control toward authenticity, curiosity, and empowerment.
That means asking bold questions:
Competency models aren’t inherently bad, but they’re no longer sufficient for the modern workplace. To attract, grow, and retain exceptional people in a fast-moving, AI-enabled world, we need a more human, more dynamic, and more future-fit approach. Strengths, skills, and values – rather than competencies – are the building blocks of tomorrow’s workforce.
It’s time to move from outdated models to strengths-based, future-ready talent strategies. With TalentPredix™, HR leaders and coaches can unlock people’s unique strengths, values, and career drivers to build thriving, agile organisations.

For decades, expert knowledge has been a prized currency in business and society. But today, leadership influence in the digital age looks very different. Knowledge workers, subject matter experts, consultants and business thought leaders have been celebrated as engines of economic growth, and leaders have often been hired and promoted primarily for what they know and the experience they’ve accumulated.
Because knowledge is built on facts, ideas, and learned experience, organisations have invested heavily in building it – from sponsoring MBAs at top business schools to funding specialist certifications, often seen as the “gold standard” of management expertise.
Let’s be clear: expert power based on specialised knowledge is still valued and rewarded. But the question is – will it remain an enduring source of influence in today’s rapidly evolving digital age?
Several powerful trends are reshaping the landscape, and undermining knowledge as a long-term competitive advantage.
Today, information is abundant, instant, and democratised. Ask a Gen Z or millennial professional where they turn for answers and they’ll likely say Google, YouTube, LinkedIn networks, or AI assistants rather than in-house “experts.” Social platforms, online learning hubs, and generative AI have made high-quality knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Public trust in “established wisdom” has been declining for years. We’ve seen governments, businesses, and even global institutions face scepticism, with expert advice frequently questioned or ignored. In an era of misinformation, deepfakes, and AI-generated content, the credibility of the source now matters as much as the quality of the knowledge itself.
Knowledge is static; insight is dynamic. Insight is the ability to connect the dots, understand patterns, and anticipate change. It’s contextual, forward-looking, and increasingly powered by big data, collective intelligence, and human–AI collaboration. Influence today comes less from holding knowledge and more from making sense of it in real time.
1. Become Accelerators of Learning and Insight
Shift from being the “source” of knowledge to being a curator and catalyst. Build teams that draw on diverse expertise – from customers, partners, AI systems, and frontline employees – to generate better, faster insights.
2. Embrace Digital Intelligence and AI
From predictive analytics to generative AI, technology is transforming how decisions are made. Leaders who understand and leverage these tools can uncover new opportunities, mitigate risks, and deliver greater value.
3. Foster Constructive Challenge and Debate
Insight thrives in environments where diverse perspectives are welcomed. Leaders must create a culture where questioning, critical thinking, and open discussion are safe, encouraged, and valued – even when it challenges senior voices.
In the digital age, knowledge and expertise alone are no longer enough. Lasting influence will belong to leaders who blend deep domain knowledge with the agility to learn, adapt, and create insights that drive positive change and meaningful value.
It’s time to shift from relying solely on knowledge to building the insight, agility, and strengths that drive real influence. At TalentPredix™, we help leaders and organisations thrive in the digital age by unlocking strengths, accelerating learning, and creating future-ready workplaces.

What is a leader’s most important job? It isn’t squeezing another quarter-point of margin. The primary role of a leader is to create the conditions in which people do their best work in service of a clear, meaningful purpose. Strategy, operations, and finance flow from that stewardship.
Purpose focuses energy. When people know why their work matters and understand how it improves customers’ lives or contributes to society, they bring more discretionary effort, creativity, and persistence. Purpose becomes the north star when the path shifts and adaptation is required.
Positivity fuels innovation and performance. Positive doesn’t mean naïve. It means psychological safety, celebrating progress, and candid feedback delivered with respect. In that climate, people speak up sooner, share ideas more freely, and recover faster from setbacks.
People-first multiplies results. Treat people as value creators, not cost lines. Invest in strengths, craft roles around talents and underlying motivators, and give autonomy with accountability. The payoff: higher engagement, lower turnover, faster learning loops, better customer experiences, and stronger long-term financial health.
Self-awareness, reflection, and emotional intelligence are essential. But the pendulum can swing toward hyper-introspection – leadership that is forever “working on itself” while delaying decisions, diluting standards, or prioritizing the leader’s feelings over employee experiences and stakeholder outcomes. Inner work is a means, not the mission. The point of knowing yourself is to serve better: clearer direction for teams, safer environments for dissent, faster decisions for customers, and steadier value for stakeholders. A helpful rule of thumb: spend enough time looking inward to optimize your strengths and remove limiting habits and interference, then put the vast majority of energy into creating impact for employees, customers, and the community.
Managing primarily for near-term profitability and share price encourages behaviours that erode the capabilities that create durable value: underinvestment in people and product, risk-avoidance that stifles innovation, and unnecessary cost cutting that undermines core capabilities and damages trust and culture. You might hit the quarter; you rarely build the company over the longer run. By contrast, purpose-driven, people-first leadership treats profit as an outcome of doing the right things well, not the goal in itself.
When leaders create the conditions for people to thrive, organizations become more adaptive, innovative, and resilient. Customers feel it in product quality and service. Investors see it in stable growth and reduced volatility. Communities benefit from a company that contributes more than it extracts. That is real, sustainable value creation.
In summary, put purpose first, lead with positivity, and bet on people, and let inner work power impact, not replace it.
It’s time to shift from margin-chasing to people-first leadership that fuels engagement, innovation, and long-term success. At TalentPredix™, we help leaders uncover strengths, build thriving teams, and create workplaces where people flourish.

For decades, tools like MBTI, DISC, and Insights Discovery have dominated personal development, leadership training, and team‑building. They promise to improve communication, foster understanding, and help people “know themselves.” But there’s a core problem: these models are outdated, rigid, and no longer reflect how people actually grow, adapt and work today.
The science and underlying assumptions behind them are equally shaky in the context of a fast‑changing workplace. Many are rooted in Jungian theory or the Big Five personality model. These assume that personality is largely fixed. Decades of research around the Big Five has focused more on validating its existing dimensions than exploring flaws and more dynamic, context‑driven approaches that reflect how personality evolves and adapts over time.
It’s time to move beyond static labels and embrace assessments that recognise people as fluid, adaptable, and shaped by their environment and life stage.
In a world of continuous transformation, where agility, inclusion, and self-development are key to success, these traditional tools are falling behind. Here’s why.
MBTI assigns you a four-letter type. Insights maps you to a dominant colour. But real people are far more complex than that. These tools reduce human potential to binary categories or colour labels – often leading to oversimplified judgments, pigeonholing, and fixed mindsets. Once labelled, people often internalize those labels, limiting their growth and opportunity instead of expanding it. In a world of hyper-personalisation and inclusion, such approaches are no longer fit for purpose and can do more harm than good.
MBTI has been widely discredited in academic psychology. Numerous studies show that up to half of users get different results when they retake it, indicating poor reliability. Insights, while engaging in format, is based on similar Jungian theory, which lacks strong empirical backing. These tools may feel insightful, but they don’t hold up under scientific scrutiny.
As mentioned, traditional assessments assume that personality is fixed and consistent across time and situations. But people flex, grow, and evolve. We behave differently at work, under stress, or when we’re learning. Fixed-type tools don’t reflect the reality of human adaptability, making them increasingly irrelevant in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing work environment.
While MBTI and Insights can provide a shared language for talking about differences, they rarely drive lasting behaviour change or measurable performance improvement. Their models often stop at raising awareness, without translating those insights into actionable development, targeted coaching, or real‑world performance gains.
These tools focus on describing how someone tends to think, behave, or interact, but they don’t explain the critical why behind those behaviours. As a result, both individuals and employers are left with only a surface‑level understanding, with little insight into what truly empowers, energises, inspires, and sustains a person’s effort over time.
In a world where agility, engagement, and adaptability are essential, understanding the why is not optional – it’s the foundation for unlocking potential, driving passion, and achieving peak performance.
What today’s professionals need isn’t another set of personality labels. They need practical tools that recognise people’s complexity, potential, and capacity for change. That’s where strengths-based assessment approaches come in.
Unlike traditional personality tests, TalentPredix™, a next-generation strengths assessment platform, isn’t about typing or boxing people in. It’s grounded in robust personality science but goes far beyond static profiling and generic labels. Our platform reveals your core strengths, motivators, and values – and crucially, how these show up in different contexts and evolve over time. This understanding becomes the foundation for meaningful growth, targeted development, and lasting impact.
Modern strengths assessments like TalentPredix™ go beyond traditional personality tools to:
It’s time to move beyond personality tests that belong in the past. MBTI and Insights may still have brand recognition, but familiarity doesn’t equal effectiveness. In today’s hyper‑personalised, fast-moving world of work – where agility, diversity, inclusion and continuous growth matter more than ever – we need tools that empower people, not categorise and constrain them.
When I speak with HR and talent leaders, I often ask: Do you truly believe we’ll still be using such tests in three to five years? Given the pace of AI disruption and the sweeping changes in workplace trends, most pause to reflect… and acknowledge, the answer is no.
The future of personality assessment isn’t about types, colours or generic boxes. It’s about uncovering the deeper drivers of individual behaviour, thinking, relating and motivation, and understanding how these shift and evolve across different situations and life stages in a fast‑changing world.
It’s time to embrace fresh, innovative ways to understand personality, motivations and values – methods that reflect the complexity of people and the realities of modern work.
It’s time to move from static labels to strengths-based assessments that unlock potential, fuel performance, and reflect the realities of today’s dynamic workplace. At TalentPredix™, we help leaders, coaches, and HR teams build thriving organisations by focusing on strengths, not stereotypes.

Leading creative professionals in the luxury fashion industry demands a nuanced approach that balances originality and innovation with meeting organisational goals in an ever-evolving landscape. Here are five essential principles for effectively guiding and inspiring creative teams:
Creativity thrives in environments designed to spark imagination and fuel innovation. A workspace infused with natural light, inspiring décor, and flexible layouts can invigorate the creative process, offering a foundation for fresh ideas. However, an inspiring physical space is only part of the equation – high expectations coupled with empowering leadership form the backbone of exceptional creative teams.
Leaders who set ambitious but achievable goals while encouraging risk-taking create a culture where creativity flourishes. Providing space for exploration and experimentation signals trust in your team’s abilities, empowering them to push boundaries and develop groundbreaking ideas while staying aligned with practical objectives. As Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, aptly observed in his interview with Forbes, “Creativity—yes, but executed in a way that people like and can use.” This balance between inspiration and practicality is essential for transforming creative vision into impactful results.
Creative freedom is most effective when guided by a clear and compelling purpose. Communicate the brand’s vision and goals to ensure alignment between the team’s creative efforts and organizational objectives. As highlighted in the HBR article “Leading Creative People Is Hard — Here’s How to Do It”: “Creatives thrive in environments where they feel valued, understood, and free to explore without fear of immediate critique.” Balancing freedom with strategic alignment keeps the creative process focused and impactful.
Cross-functional collaboration is vital for creating cohesive products and experiences that resonate with consumers. By facilitating regular brainstorming sessions and encouraging your creative team to collaborate with departments like marketing, merchandising, production, and sales, you foster mutual respect and ensure ideas are both innovative and practical.
In today’s fast-changing luxury fashion landscape, collaboration shouldn’t stop within the organisation. Encouraging creative teams to explore external partnerships can yield groundbreaking results. Recent collaborations, such as Loewe x On or Gucci x The North Face, highlight how cross-industry creativity can produce unique, market-shaping designs. These partnerships not only expand creative horizons but also enhance brand visibility and relevance.
Creative ideas must resonate not only with artistic expression but also with customer preferences and market demands. Encourage your team to consider consumer insights, market trends, and brand positioning. In the words of Christian Dior, “Behind all the frills and furbelows are figures that talk,” leaders should guide their teams to ensure creativity aligns with financial realities. This balance supports innovation while driving growth and profitability.
Feedback is crucial in nurturing creative talent. Publicly celebrating successes boosts morale, while constructive criticism enhances work without stifling creativity or autonomy. Striking this balance is challenging, particularly in an industry where harsh critique has often been seen as a rite of passage – much like in The Devil Wears Prada.
It’s important for creative leaders to be honest yet supportive, remembering that the goal of feedback is to inspire improvement, not to humiliate. One powerful way to achieve this is through strengths-based 360 feedback that builds confidence and clarity without the anxiety of traditional reviews. Learn more about our new TalentPredix™ 360 Feedback tool and how it transforms feedback into a driver of growth and performance.
The luxury fashion industry demands creativity, but managing it effectively requires a nuanced approach. By fostering an inspiring environment, providing clear direction, encouraging collaboration, balancing creativity with practicality, and offering thoughtful feedback, leaders can unlock their team’s full potential.
It’s time to move beyond outdated, rigid management and embrace a strengths-based approach designed for today’s creative edge. TalentPredix™ helps leaders and HR professionals balance originality with commercial success, unlock creative potential, and empower high-performing teams in the luxury fashion industry.

In an age of constant disruption, unpredictable markets, and rapid workplace change, people need more than just direction – they need inspiration, confidence, and hope. They need leaders who fuel their energy, not drain it – leaders who uplift, empower, and help others thrive through uncertainty.
That’s where mindset comes in. More than strategy or structure, it’s a leader’s mindset, and how they shape it in others, that determines whether teams thrive or stagnate.
The diagram above shows two clear paths: the Amplifying Mindset and the Diminishing Mindset.
Both are contagious. The question is: which one are you reinforcing in your team?
Leaders and managers are the most powerful shapers of workplace mindset. The way you frame challenges, recognise effort, give feedback, and set the tone can either ignite curiosity, confidence, and creativity, or erode them. Every conversation and interaction matters.
In times of uncertainty, this influence becomes even more powerful.
When teams face pressure or ambiguity, they naturally seek signals of safety, support and direction. If you default to criticism, blame, or micro-control, you’ll drag them toward the diminishing path. However, if you stay curious, empowering, and strengths-focused, you’ll keep them on the amplifying one where learning, trust, and performance grow.
Here are five practical ways managers can lead their people toward a growth-oriented, energising mindset:
Rather than focusing conversations on gaps and mistakes, ask:
Amplify what’s already working and build forward.
Positivity isn’t about ignoring problems. It’s about approaching them with confidence, hope, and a belief in progress. Express optimism, especially in moments of challenge and setbacks. Your emotional tone sets the tone.
Replace judgment with curiosity. Use feedforward, ask open-ended questions, and help people reflect on how they can apply their strengths in new and creative ways to overcome obstacles.
Encourage risk-taking, experimentation, and candour. Teams need to know it’s safe to share ideas, challenge the norm, or admit mistakes without fear.
Recognise not just big wins but progress and growth moments – effort, insight, courage, learning and teamwork. This reinforces a mindset of positive momentum and engagement.
The Amplifying Mindset isn’t a quick fix. It’s a leadership habit – a choice to lead with belief in people’s potential, not fear of their flaws. In fast-changing times, it’s the most powerful tool you have to energize your team and build a culture of trust, resilience, and innovation.
In a world full of uncertainty, be the leader who sees and multiplies strengths, possibilities and successes. Your people are watching and following your signals so it is important to send out the right ones, rather than blocking and draining their efforts and energy. Help them walk the Amplifying Pathway because that’s where positive transformation and impact happens.
It’s time to move from control and criticism to confidence and strengths. The Amplifying Mindset helps leaders energise their teams, unlock creativity, and lead with purpose — even in uncertainty.
At TalentPredix™, we equip leaders with the tools to build thriving, strengths-led teams.

360-degree feedback has long been a staple in leadership development and performance management. At its best, it aims to offer a holistic view of an individual’s strengths and development areas by collecting feedback from peers, direct reports, managers, and even customers.
However, traditional 360s often fail to deliver the transformational outcomes they promise and can even demotivate the very people they’re meant to develop.
Decades of peer-reviewed research highlights several flaws in standard 360 feedback methods. Poorly designed or executed surveys can lead to disengagement and even performance decline.
Traditional 360s that focus too heavily on negative traits or deficits can erode self-confidence and trust, especially if not framed constructively. Neuroscience supports this, showing that criticism activates the brain’s threat response, causing people to shut down or resist rather than reflect and grow.
The impact is even more damaging when 360s are rolled out without the right context or support. Without coaching or follow-up, employees may feel judged, exposed, or even ambushed.
Bias (conscious or unconscious) can easily creep in, distorting feedback and reinforcing inequities. This is particularly harmful for women and professionals from underrepresented backgrounds who already face systemic barriers at work.
Clearly, we need a more human and effective model of feedback. That’s where TalentPredix™ 360 comes in – a modern, strengths-based alternative that turns feedback into a positive, empowering, and inclusive experience.
Unlike conventional 360s, TalentPredix™ 360 doesn’t dwell on deficits. It helps individuals understand and apply their unique strengths, values, and motivators, while constructively highlighting blind spots and growth areas in a psychologically safe way.
This strengths-first approach inspires higher engagement, motivation, and a genuine desire to grow.
What sets TalentPredix™ 360 apart is more than just its positivity – it’s the deep science and thoughtful design behind it.
Created by leading business psychologists with nearly three decades of experience in strengths assessment and development, the tool uses inclusive, strengths-based language and forward-focused feedback to ensure every individual is recognised for their unique contribution – not boxed in by outdated behavioural checklists or bias-laden frameworks.
The result? A feedback culture where people feel energised, not criticised. Where 360s are welcomed, not feared. And where leaders and teams are empowered to optimise their strengths and reach their full potential.
In today’s volatile, fast-paced world, organisations need more inclusive, innovative, and people-first approaches to develop talent. Traditional 360s often reinforce limitations. TalentPredix™ 360 does the opposite – it uncovers potential, inspires growth, and creates workplaces where people thrive.
It’s time to shift from outdated, deficit-focused 360 reviews to a strengths-based, empowering feedback experience. Discover how TalentPredix™ 360 helps HR leaders and coaches foster inclusive growth, boost engagement, and unlock potential.

In today’s fast-changing world of work, career development is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a strategic imperative.
Amid talent shortages, rising expectations, and rapid digital transformation, organisations must do more than attract skilled people – they must help them thrive. That means rethinking how we design work, support growth, and lead careers in ways that align with people’s strengths, purpose, and aspirations.
Yet many companies are falling short.
While pay and perks can help attract talent, they’re rarely enough to keep it. What employees, especially Gen Z and Millennials, increasingly want is meaningful work, growth opportunities, and a culture where they feel seen, supported, and stretched.
The most forward-thinking organisations are responding by putting career development at the heart of their people strategy. Here’s how you can do the same.
1. Reimagine Career Development as a Shared Responsibility
Too often, there’s confusion over who “owns” career development. In truth, it’s a shared responsibility.
Organisations must create clarity around career paths, ensure fair access to development opportunities, and provide the tools and guidance to navigate growth. Meanwhile, employees should be encouraged to take ownership of their learning journey – cultivating curiosity, resilience, and self-awareness to steer their path.
When both parties commit, growth accelerates.
2. Focus on Strengths and Potential, Not Just Experience
Traditional hiring and promotion models often over-index on qualifications and tenure. But in a world where roles evolve fast, what matters more are strengths, adaptability, and motivation to grow.
By assessing and optimising people’s unique talents, motivators, and values — as TalentPredix does – organisations can better match people to roles where they’ll thrive and make the biggest impact.
3. Enable Agility Through Stretch and Autonomy
People want more control over how, when, and where they work. They also want to be challenged, but in ways that align with their strengths, career motivators and values.
Progressive companies are embracing models like job crafting, stretch assignments, peer coaching, and volunteering to build agility and confidence. They’re replacing rigid career ladders with “climbing walls” – dynamic, multidirectional paths that reflect how careers truly evolve.
4. Equip Managers to Multiply Talent
Career development doesn’t scale without leadership buy-in. Yet too few managers are trained to have meaningful career conversations or connect people to development opportunities.
Managers must move beyond performance reviews to become career guides and strengths multipliers – helping their teams discover their strengths, take on challenges, and shape purposeful growth plans. When they do, everyone benefits.
5. Build a Culture of Learning and Thriving
A thriving workplace isn’t built overnight. It requires daily habits: celebrating wins, giving feedforward, offering coaching, and reinforcing a growth mindset.
When development is part of the culture – not just a program – people stay longer, perform better, and fuel innovation from within.

As AI reshapes the way we work, lead, and connect, one thing is clear: the future of leadership isn’t about competing with machines, it’s about amplifying what makes us uniquely human and intelligent.
In this new era, where algorithms analyse data faster and digital automation handles routine tasks more efficiently, good leadership will look very different. It will demand a shift in mindset, skillset, and presence – away from control and certainty, toward curiosity, critical thinking, adaptability, and deep human connection.
As technology becomes more advanced, people will seek out leaders who are more human, not less. The best leaders will focus on empathy, inclusion, connection, and trust. They’ll create environments where people feel safe, seen, and supported, especially as the pace of change increases and uncertainty becomes the norm.
In a world of AI-generated answers, people will follow those who listen, care, and connect.
AI can speed things up, but it can’t give us a sense of meaning and purpose. That’s the leader’s role.
The most impactful leaders will be purpose-led. They’ll articulate a vision that goes beyond efficiency or profit – one rooted in values and positive, sustainable impact. In doing so, they’ll help their teams find meaning in their work and connect with what truly matters.
In a rapidly evolving landscape, leaders can’t rely on their expertise and past experience alone. They’ll need to be “learn it alls” rather than “know it alls” – curious, experimental, and comfortable not having all the answers. One CEO I recently observed responded to a challenging question at an all-hands meeting by saying, “I don’t know the answer to your question, but together, we’ll figure it out.” This exemplifies the kind of growth mindset essential for leading through constant change.
Adaptive leaders will embrace failure as fuel, encourage experimentation, and foster a growth mindset across their teams and businesses. Their competitive edge will lie not in knowing more, but in learning and innovating faster that the rate of change.
With AI comes immense power, and even greater responsibility. Leaders must ensure its use aligns with ethical standards and organisational values. That means establishing clear guardrails for responsible use and asking the hard questions:
Great leaders don’t just ask, “What can AI do?” They ask, “What should it do?”, “What are the risks and limits?” and most importantly, “How can we use it to amplify our positive impact?”
With AI taking on repetitive, analytical and rule-based tasks, leaders will have more capacity to focus on unlocking human potential and unique strengths people bring. They can help people do more of what energises them and aligns with their natural talents, motivators and values.
Rather than managing tasks, leaders will become catalysts for ideas and strengths – empowering individuals and teams to collaborate, co-create, and innovate by combining their unique strengths, diverse thinking, and the power of AI.
Finally, good leaders in the age of AI won’t need to be tech experts, however, they will need to be curious, humble, and digitally fluent. They’ll need to ask smart questions, seek diverse input, and learn alongside their teams.
The best leaders won’t try to outsmart AI or let ego undermine learning and progress. Instead, they’ll curiosity, tapping into the insights of younger generations and digital natives on their teams. By doing so, they’ll unlock the full potential of human–AI collaboration.
In short, good leadership in the age of AI will be more human, not less. It will be rooted in purpose, guided by values, powered by strengths and continuous growth, and amplified by connection, safety and trust. Machines will optimise tasks, but it’s people who will spark meaning, creativity, and positive transformation.
