[Ailist] How much AI do leaders need to know to lead successfuly?

[AnneLondon at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for your thoughts about how much information or 
background information on AI you think leaders need to have to successfully lead the 
next stage of their business.


Background:
A chief executive has taken a considerable amount of time over the last few 
years to learn about and prepare himself in strength-based approaches to 
change.   He regards this, and the fact that his global team took their cue from him 
and altered their leadership style, as some of the key reasons why the 
business has been extremely successful and is much larger than it was.

The success brought with it some reorganisation and a new team. 

Current situation:
Because of its previous success, there are very high expectations of the 
business, the chief executive and his team of business leaders who have much 
greater responsibilities than before.   

However, as far as I can see, the current leaders do not appear to see the 
importance of investing in their own leadership capabilities or knowledge of 
strength-based change as did their chief exec.

In your view, does this matter?
If you think it does matter, what are your thoughts on how to address the 
situation?
If you think it doesn't matter, please say why. 

I am asking about this having seen how little people investment is included 
in their plan for 2008.   I look forward to hearing your views.   

Many thanks,

Anne Radford
