From Weakness to Powerhouse: A Video Discussion About Human-Driven Leadership in an AI World

My former #Cisco colleague, and friend Dan Albaum and I had a recent conversation about 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 – 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜-𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱.

In the weeks ahead, I will be sharing excerpts and short teaser videos from our conversation, with the goal of inspiring consideration for what these topics may mean for you as a leader of teams, and/or in the world at large.

We began with a conversation that spawned from a great LinkedIN post by Andrew Hilger in January about the 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘆𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮. Perhaps some of his greatest strengths are not the ones traditionally considered when we think of strength in leadership, and yet – those very human strengths (some call them soft skills, and I say, ‘Are they really that ‘soft’?’) are ones that helped transform Microsoft from being at one of its weakest points to a current-day powerhouse!

𝗦𝗼, 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹…. Dan shares his perspective.
