Postscript Moment: Adaptive Leadership and Decision-Making in a world with AI and Purpose, with Diane White
This episode of the humans at work podcast features a Postscript Moment – a special follow-up conversation with one of our previous podcast guests. For those of you who can remember letter-writing, after you’d signed off your letter, you could write P.S. and add in one last story or commentary that you knew would appeal to your letter recipient! You wouldn’t have much space left on the paper, so you’d need to be more succinct and often P.S. information was the most informal and ‘juicy’ part of your news.
I'm seeing that I've got my happy place or my preference and where I feel most comfortable in the style of leadership. That works for a certain number of people, but there are other situations and other people that need something quite different from me. And, it's actually the ability to adjust my leadership style for different contexts and different people, I think, is the next big challenge.
This episode of the humans at work podcast features a short(er) follow-up conversation with Diane White, Director – Strategy and Transactions, at EY, Melbourne Australia. It builds on the full podcast with Diane in episode 3 (insert link please)
Diane and I talk about:
- learning about her own leadership style and the need to adapt it situationally
- Jules’ concept of “peer leadership”, particularly in consulting practice
- Jules’ concept of radical boundary blurring between organisations to cope with true scarcity
- collaboration and purpose
- Artificial Intelligence and questions of trust
- the future of consulting as a profession in the AI and large language model age
- decision-making style
- the impact of climate change on organisational decision-making practice.
