Great, great post! All of this stuff - systems thinking, cross-domain, it's been around in leadership for years (at least that's what I observed). What AI is doing here is make it so urgent that it's almost impossible to ignore it anymore. And nor should you :)

AI is forcing the timeline. It's not nice-to-have anymore, it's like, catch up or get left behind.

Thank you to both of you for this!

You said it - it’s not a nice to have anymore. It’s going to be essential, and honestly not just for leaders. Ask anyone on substack. We’re writers, marketers, project manager, tech support and much more all rolled into one 😅 thanks for your support Mia!

That’s exactly it!! We can’t silo ourselves or our skills.

What an amazing coincidence. I'm reading this article while waiting for my adaptation of Mia's cross-pollinator agent to run.

My favorite takeaway is espousing intellectual humility and having a beginners (learners) mindset. The best leaders around me practice this, they are never afraid to acknowledge shortcomings in their knowledge, but have the humility to ask for help and the curiosity to dive deeper.

Thank you for sharing this Dawn and Joel! These are essential qualities for leaders in the AI age

When you encounter a leader like that, it always stays with you at an emotional level. Thanks for reading Ashwin!
