Instead of viewing AI's evolution as a race, consider the strategic approach of a beaver. Leaders should focus on building the ecosystem where they can thrive. By controlling the function of that ecosystem, others will integrate and find their place. This long-term vision, looking 10 years ahead, is what industry leaders need to embrace. They must build the ecosystem where the industry and its people can thrive. #AIecosystem #Leadership #Innovation #StrategicThinking #FutureofAI @BrooksHamilton @https://lnkd.in/eJW2XhiZ @JoshPalubicki https://lnkd.in/eXjwf3EM @BrianHopkins https://lnkd.in/eXjwf3EM @IanHeller https://lnkd.in/eXjwf3EM

Is authoritarian leadership making a comeback? As FT journalist Isabel Berwick explains, uncertainty and the rise of AI are driving some leaders to tighten control - when what organisations truly need is trust and adaptability. The future won’t reward command-and-control leadership.

Leadership used to be about control. Now it’s about chemistry. You don’t scale results, you scale trust. When people feel seen, they perform. When they don’t, they leave.

Take Action, your people are counting on you for their livelihoods.
