Leadership in the Age of AI with Reggie Townsend, VP of Data Ethic Practice at SAS
A leader’s strive for progress is either his greatest asset or a severe liability.
The thing that tips the scale is whenever there is a disruption like the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.
Because, every change in your environment is a challenge for your team.
And it depends on you to communicate in a way that gives them the confidence to overcome it.
Thankfully, the past shows us how capable leaders don’t just create a vision for themselves, but breathe a sense of direction into their organization.
Just like electricity, the current age of AI is the continuation of decades of progress.
So, we can use tried and tested principles from the past for optimal leadership in this new era of progress.
