DISRUPT YOURSELF OR BE DISRUPTED: THE NEW LEADERSHIP PLAYBOOK<br />
AI can analyze data, make predictions, and automate processes—but it can’t empathize, inspire, or build<br />
trust. As automation supplements what we need our IQ to do, a premium is being placed on human-<br />
centric leadership and EQ as a key differentiator for businesses. The old paradigm of work has been<br />
upended by the pandemic, AI and innovation, and the new era of work requires an updated leadership<br />
playbook. Hear from two prominent experts–a key voice on economic opportunity and a leader integrating<br />
people and digital technology–about the new leadership competencies that will determine success and<br />
failure in the workplace.<br />
