In this episode of Enterprising Minds, the conversation delves into the evolving role of leadership in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). The discussion is sparked by insights from a Harvard Business Review article titled Leading in the Flow from the January-February 2024 edition, proposing five core energies leaders can tap into: purpose, wisdom, growth, love, and self-realization. 

Alex, Ruthi, and Dave explore the balance between technical skills and soft skills in management, the impact of AI on work dynamics, the shift in communication styles across generations, and the importance of soft skills in an AI-influenced work environment. The conversation also touches on authority versus leadership, effective communication in a global team, and adapting management styles to cater to generational differences in the workplace.
