5. AI and Its Implications for Team Leaders: The Job Needs to Change and You Do Too

AI is already having a significant impact in the way businesses of all sizes and in all sectors operate. Leaders (coaches) need to understand that their jobs must quickly evolve and the way they guide their teams forward will require them to call upon skills they either don’t possess or that they have until now rarely used. The people they lead need to see AI as a technology that can improve the products, services, and experience the company delivers to customers. Helping them make that mental connection between AI and improvements that customers feel, and the team’s vital role in ensuring that outcome is realized, is the job of the leader. That’s the premise of this session and attendees will come away from it with a framework and a few actionable steps for more effectively guiding their teams into the new AI-infused business landscape.
