Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the world in unprecedented ways, from revolutionizing healthcare and transportation to enhancing our daily lives with personalized digital assistants and smart home devices. However, as we continue to integrate AI into every aspect of our lives, it is important to recognize that the role of human leadership in guiding and shaping this technology is more crucial than ever.
ChatGPT is a text-generating AI based on the powerful GPT-3 large language model. It “writes” like an individual, enabling it to craft a natural conversation. Combining user input and its vast database, ChatGPT creates a real-sounding dialogue that resembles human interaction.
ChatGPT’s impact – what should you expect? This technology could compose well-crafted emails and messages but isn’t a substitute for leadership essentials. Remember that ChatGPT won’t step in and provide essential guidance or decision-making responsibilities.
Human relationships, growth, engagement, and connection will remain important in the future; therefore, the role of leaders is an essential one that will continue to exist. These key elements are greater now than ever before, proving the need for higher levels of leadership.
David Brooks says:
“A.I. will give us fantastic tools that will help us outsource a lot of our current mental work. At the same time, AI will force us humans to double down on those talents and skills that only humans possess.”
AI that evolves and progresses will be characterized not by mechanical operations or calculations but by unique human skills. These include a distinct personal voice, an instinct for creativity typical of young people, an atypical interpretation of the world, sensitivity, and attention to context.
Leadership, Version of David’s List, working as an Executive Coach, Thousands of Leaders
Drawing from years of working as an Executive Coach to thousands of leaders has created my version of David’s list of leadership – here are some tips.
Discover Your Distinct Personal Voice With Our Writing Resources
My essence could be considered my “brand” – what makes me, me. Thinking about what is special and remarkable about me, perhaps it’s my strong intuition, my intrinsic kindness, or even my wild outlook on most things.
Your unique skills and perspectives are essential. Nurture them, knowing your voice has value and will be missed if it is not heard. Cultivate your distinct leadership perspective and remember that it matters.
Unleash Your Childlike Talent For Creativity With A Creative Mindset
Many criticize the AI voice’s lack of creativity, recognizing that creativity is essential for effective leadership. Human beings display far more creativity than the current level demonstrated by Artificial Intelligence.
One of my clients says:
“There is no rule book for leadership.”
Creativity can be called upon when facing every challenge, obstacle, or even a mountain to climb. Challenges open doors for creativity in oneself as well as from others around.
Exploring An Unusual Worldview – A New Perspective
The most effective leaders can contemplate ideas and possibilities beyond what is traditionally thought possible by evaluating multiple views. Instead of just taking an idea at face value, they welcome new perspectives that can encourage them to achieve even more impressive results.
Open to other perspectives and suggestions, whether from frontline staff, customers, suppliers, or the board, you welcome new ideas from all sources. They realize that the most important contributions may come from within an organization, either at its crown or center.
Empathy
Leaders who engage with their employees capable of comprehension and sympathy will define respect and trust. Such appreciation entails seeing the predicament of the individual in front of you.
Empathy is a key characteristic of a great leader; the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and make sense of the world from their point of view, although not necessarily having to agree with it. This takes dedication and engagement to understand disparate opinions.
Situational Awareness
Effective leaders recognize the importance of adapting their style to the particular situation and assessing what is needed. This can range from providing appropriate support and guidance to giving team members adequate space and trusting them to tackle complex issues without interference.
Situational leaders thrive on diversity – beyond a particular style, they flex to whatever task. For instance, in some situations, it could mean leading with authority, while other times, it’s about becoming part of the team and being willing to stay and work late to achieve a goal.
ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence will certainly be a part of our future; no need to fear them. Offload the dull aspects of your job that do not require human intellect and let AI take care of them.
That will free you up to fully engage in bringing your full human self to the role. Putting in the effort to create cooperative relationships between the employer, employees, and stakeholders based on mutual trust and knowledge sharing can have a huge positive impact. Leaders who make an extra effort to invest their time into fostering these positive relationships will benefit greatly.
