PM Insights Sunnyvale Virtual Meeting
Becoming an AI-augmented Leader - Leading from the Inside Out . . . with Help from AI
What if the next frontier of leadership isn’t about becoming more like machines—but about becoming more human, with machines as our trusted partners in leadership & team effectiveness? AI is not here to replace us—it’s here to augment us! . . . but only if we can effectively partner with the AI tools powerfully & positively. All around the World there are intelligent, well-educated, experienced professionals who are failing for totally predictable and avoidable causes.
The top most common causes of failure in teams continue to be HUMAN causes due to ineffective leadership. It’s been proven that individual and teams that include AI outperform those without an AI component. This is NOT about learning a new app or AI chatbot tricks. It’s about becoming the kind of human leader that can leverage AI to make the “impossible” inevitable.
We’ll explore what it means to lead from the inside out—with help from AI—through five interconnected levels of leadership: * Self-Leadership * 1:1 Leadership * Team Leadership * Organizational Leadership * Global Leadership This isn’t about becoming a machine! It’s about becoming the kind of bold, self-aware, globally conscious and effective leader that our world needs—with AI as your “coach in your pocket”. Whether you lead a team of 3, 300, or 30,000, this session will challenge, empower, and equip you to lead more effectively, from the inside out. If you’re ready to leverage AI to be an “AI-augmented Leader” who uses AI as a "coach in your pocket" to help your team make the extraordinary, or even “impossible”, inevitable—this session is for you.
Takeaways:
- A future-ready mindset about AI: beyond fear and hype, toward practical partnership where you become an “AI-augmented” leader.
- A clear map of the five levels of leadership and how AI can support each. Specific examples of AI tools that augment—not replace—your leadership capacities.
- Real-world use cases from global organizations who are getting this right. Provocative questions that will expand how you think about being human in a world where AI is integrated into our work and our live
- Inspiration to lead not just more efficiently, but more effectively — with the help of AI tools — to become a BETTER version of YOURSELF
