Lessons from 'Leadership in the Age of AI' [REPLAY]


⚖️ “AI requires enormous judgment. Leadership requires enormous judgment.” — Alison Adams, Chief Executive of ChristchurchNZ

Hello Reader,

Last week at EPIC in Christchurch, I hosted a TechWeek panel on Leadership in the Age of AI with four local CEOs: Anya Anderson from RedSeed, Julie Ryan from CustomD, Ali Adams from ChristchurchNZ, and Brad Fraser from Agentic Intelligence.

The conversation kept coming back to the human work of leadership: judgment, communication, trust, empathy, change management, and knowing when enough is enough.

The kind of judgment only a human can make.

AI is not making leadership less human. It's actually making the human parts of leadership harder to fake.

When output gets faster, it exposes unclear thinking much more rapidly. When analysis gets cheaper, poor judgment becomes more expensive. When every workflow can be accelerated, leaders have to decide where to slow down.

I'll publish a full recap (with slides from the speakers) next week.
