EP 128 | Humanize Leadership with Generative AI

How could your leadership be augmented to thrive in a world that's becoming increasingly brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible?

Discover how to harness the power of generative AI to become a more effective, human-centered leader on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Futurists Bob Johansen and Jeremy Kirshbaum share insights from their groundbreaking research about the leadership skills required to navigate a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Listen as Dr. Joey, Bob, and Jeremy explore:
☀️ Why leaders must embrace augmentation or risk becoming obsolete in the next decade
☀️ How to use generative AI as a tool for "stretching" your thinking rather than just seeking answers
☀️ The critical balance between human qualities and computing power in effective leadership
☀️ Why "human calming" is essential when incorporating AI into leadership practices
☀️ How constructive depolarizing can help bridge divides in an increasingly fractured workplace

Bob and Jeremy transform organizations by helping leaders think "future back" from ten years ahead to make better decisions today. Their research reveals that the best leaders will use generative AI not to replace human qualities but to enhance them, creating new possibilities for collaboration, creativity, and meaningful work.

🔑 Key Insight: "Human calming means we have to go inside ourselves and ask why we're doing this. The reason is to stretch our thinking, to imagine futures that haven't yet occurred. This is a way of enhancing, expanding, rehumanizing, and reenchanting what leadership is all about."
💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Create "yes zones" in your organization for generative AI experimentation. Rather than creating policies full of restrictions, establish safe spaces where people can joyfully experiment, learn from each other, and fail in low-risk ways while developing new skills together.
