✨ Unlock a Future Where AI Inspires Leadership—not Replaces It In this episode, Dietmar Fischer speaks with Ja-Naé Duane and Steven Fisher, co-authors of the book SuperShifts, about what leadership really looks like in the age of artificial intelligence. Instead of framing AI as just another technology trend, the conversation explores AI leadership as a systemic and human challenge. Drawing on their work with global organizations and executives during and after the pandemic, Ja-Naé and Steven explain why the biggest shifts are not driven by tools, but by how leaders rethink decision-making, responsibility, and organizational design. The episode traces the origins of SuperShifts back to Covid, when existing systems suddenly stopped working. Ja-Naé Duane shares insights from working with CEOs across Europe who were already using machine learning, but struggled to use AI to meaningfully support leadership decisions. Together, the guests unpack why AI-first leadership requires more than efficiency gains. It demands clear governance, ethical accountability, and a shared understanding of who owns outcomes when humans and machines collaborate. A central theme of the conversation is human-AI collaboration and why leaders must move beyond optimizing outdated structures. Steven Fisher introduces a systems-thinking lens, arguing that organizations need new frameworks rather than incremental improvements. The discussion highlights how AI changes leadership roles, why trust and transparency matter more than ever, and how possibility itself becomes a strategic asset in the age of intelligence. Key takeaways include practical insights into AI leadership, the importance of systems thinking, and why SuperShifts offers a roadmap for leading through uncertainty. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand how leadership must evolve as AI becomes embedded in decision-making, work, and organizational culture. 📧💌📧Tune in to get my thoughts and all episodes, don't forget to <a href="https://beginnersguideto.ai/p/newsletter?utm_source=shownotestop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>!📧💌📧 ➡️ Key Highlights<ul><li>Understanding AI-First Leadership through the lens of SuperShifts</li><li>The pandemic's role in inspiring new leadership frameworks and agile mindsets</li><li>Blending human values with AI-powered decision-making</li><li>Why systems thinking, foresight, and possibility are essential tools for modern leaders</li></ul> 🧾 Quotes from the Episode- “The most successful leader won’t be the one who predicts the future—but the one who shapes it.” - “In the Age of Intelligence, possibility itself becomes the most valuable capital.” - “Our role as leaders is to bring humanity into the algorithm, not replace it.” 👓 Chapters (experimental)00:00 Introduction – What is SuperShifts?05:12 From Pandemic to Paradigm Shift: How SuperShifts Was Born12:45 AI-First Leadership: Reimagining How We Lead20:30 Human-AI Collaboration: Balancing Ethics and Innovation28:10 Systems Thinking and SuperShifts Framework35:00 Applied Strategies: Leading in the Age of Intelligence 🔗 Where to Find Ja-Naé Duane and Steven Fisher<ul><li>Dr. Ja-Naé Duane: <a href="https://Ja-Nae.IO" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ja-Nae.IO</a></li><li>Steven Fisher — <a href="https://stevenfisher.io" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">StevenFisher.IO</a></li></ul> And here you'll find:<a href="https://supershiftsbook.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SuperShifts: Transforming How We Live, Learn, and Work in the Age of Intelligence</a> Music credit: "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads<hr> Hosted on Acast.
