Throughout history, we’ve created jobs that were perfect for AI. They were repetitive jobs that anybody could do. But we didn't have AI before. We didn't have bots and robots that could do these things. So what did we do? We put humans in those jobs. Now, we're at the point where we actually have the AI technology that can do the jobs that were designed for them. And that poses a very important question for us as humans. What does that mean for humans? What does that mean for work? --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Cornerstone.

If you want to be a great leader, you have to master the mindset of the chef. When it comes to cooking, you always have to balance ingredients. If you put too much of one thing, it becomes too sweet, too much of something else, it becomes too salty or too much of another ingredient, it becomes unhealthy or too sweet. As a leader in this new world of work that we're all a part of, there are only two ingredients that you have to balance, which are humanity and technology. Humanity is this aspect of making sure that your organization stays human, that you focus on purpose and meaning and undoing good. And the second aspect that you need to balance is technology, which is this idea of investing so that you can be productive and efficient and scale. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Hibob.

One of the most important skills leaders should have is thinking like a futurist. Being a futurist doesn’t mean you can predict the future. Futurists help make sure their company isn’t surprised by what the future might bring. Especially now that the world is changing at a rapid pace, being able to think like a futurist has never been more important. Here are some questions that could help you think like a futurist: 1. Why might something happen? 2. What else might happen? 3. What are some of the factors that will influence or impact why something will or will not happen? 4. What do you want to actually happen? Thinking like a futurist is a tremendous asset during your leadership journey. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Hibob.

A lot of organizations have a factory mentality that is process-centric and does the same thing all the time. You have to think of yourself as a laboratory. You test, experiment, and innovate. You will make mistakes along the way, and that’s ok. That is what the laboratory mentality is all about. It starts with the concept of challenging why things are done the way they are. Next, you create a team. Volunteer to lead an effort to find a better way to get something done. Then define what that future of work looks like for the organization and communicate it to others. Experiment and empower your employees to take action. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Hibob.

One of the most crucial mindsets you need as a leader is the mindset of the explorer. One of my favorite stories that perfectly sums it up is of Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton. He was the captain of a ship with 12 men that sailed to explore the Arctic region. Disasters struck one after the other: their ship sank, they had to live on a giant ice floe, and they went over a year without stepping on solid ground. But for every disaster, Shackleton did not lose hope and kept finding ways to survive. He had this aura of optimism and knew that all the obstacles and challenges he faced were things he had to overcome. This is the mindset of the explorer. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Hibob.
