Explore how work works with The CultureCon® Podcast—real stories, fresh ideas, and bold voices building a better world of work.
AI is changing how work gets done, but it’s also raising the bar for leadership.
In this special live episode, hosted by Jason Cochran of People Forward Network, Heather Haas and BJ McKay explore what it means to lead when AI is reshaping the workplace.
While much of the work people are paid to do can now be automated, leadership is not one of those things. Together, they unpack what they’re seeing across organizations today, from the growing gap between high-performing leaders and everyone else, to the lack of clarity many teams face around how AI should be used.
The conversation centers on a simple idea: Leadership isn’t being replaced. It’s being revealed. And the leaders who bring human connection, empathy, creativity, and critical thinking to their work will shape what comes next.
