Leading Successfully in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Premise: I was talking to a friend, who is also the President of a mid-sized business earlier today and we were discussing his role as a leader of the organisation. He was recently promoted to this new role and was sharing some of his challenges with me. One of the things that he shared was the speed at which everything is changing and how difficult it has become for him to not only keep track of all of these changes but also to respond to them intelligently and in a way that drives the business outcome that he is trying […]

Premise: I read a post by Michael McCune on Gartner’s blog about thought leadership and it resonated really well with me.

I agree with his analysis and also the kind of impact that he shares this can have on someone’s behaviour (Buying or otherwise).
