As AI increasingly percolates in every aspect of a business, it deploys data-driven analytical algorithms to automate tasks such as planning, forecasting, and business decision-making to create value. While AI will substantially supplement human analytical ability – it can not replace human intuition and emotional quotient (EQ), and leaders with these attributes will possess a significant advantage in the AI era. 

Your ability to inspire, motivate, and mentor teams will be an essential ingredient for creating innovative products and facilitating technological breakthroughs. 

Leaders with high EQ will be able to understand the motivation and concerns of their employees in the fast-moving world of AI and provide them with a trusting and nurturing environment. Team members who feel motivated and inspired are more likely to explore and think outside the box, leading to disruptions that purely data-driven approaches might miss. This empathetic approach to leadership ensures that we engage our teams for the common mission while harnessing the power of AI at the right place.
