Welcome to "A Podcast About Leadership," brought to you by AIIR Consulting. Each episode, our network of experts explores the challenges leaders face, and the skills they'll need to overcome them.

Dealing with change is nothing new for successful leaders. But over the past decade, the speed and severity of change has increased exponentially. The result? Nearly 70% of leaders report feeling overwhelmed by change. In this episode, we talk to Jamie Ramsden, an author, former CEO and senior executive coach about what it takes to lead in such a dynamic environment.

We also talk about Jamie’s new book, “Let’s Go! How Great Leaders Shape the Future,” which aims to empower executives and leaders to elevate their game, better understand themselves and their world, and live to their fullest potential―not for a few months or even a few years, but forever. Whether you're a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, this episode offers actionable advice and inspiring stories to elevate your leadership journey.

This is the first episode in our skills series! In this series, we’ll explore the 45 skills represented in the AIIR Leadership Framework in 5 minutes or less, so that you can learn, then get back to leading. Today, we’re starting with a skill identified by our 2024 Leadership Trends survey as one of the most important for leaders in the coming year: Self-Care.

Welcome to A Podcast About Leadership, brought to you by AIIR Consulting. Each episode, we talk to experts about the always-changing challenges leaders face, and the skills and support they need to overcome those challenges. In this episode, we delve into the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on leadership with data scientist, AI expert and author Dr. Bruce Katz.

AI has been around for a while. But over the past two years it has evolved at an unprecedented pace, upending the workplace with its ability to perform not only repetitive roles, but the analytical roles that previously seemed safe from technological advances. How is it changing what it means to lead?

With degrees in philosophy and a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, and as the Chief Innovation Officer for AIIR Analytics, Bruce is the perfect person to help listeners understand how AI is changing how we select and develop leaders, and how it's changing the skills necessary to lead.
