Most of what we consider to be leadership is about managing resources, not leading humans. AI is about to make that impossible to ignore. The leadership practices that would actually make work better for us are not new. They've just never been trained and practised well enough. Instead we focused on efficiency, control and output. That's management. Now AI can handle all of that much better. What's left for us? I think this is the defining question of our time. Instead of asking if AI will replace leaders, we should ask whether we'll finally build the kind of leadership that deserves to stay. The New Work Playbook is a weekly podcast for anyone who believes that work gets better because people matter. Monday episodes explore why something matters for leadership in the age of AI. Friday reflection episodes give you something practical to try. Hosted by Annett Burger, a leadership practitioner with twenty years of experience in executive search, leadership development, and consulting.
