Two leadership programs completed π
The AGSM Professional Forum was about complexity – and specifically the costs that never hit a balance sheet: reputational damage, talent attrition, strategic drift. The masterclass dropped us into a scenario that escalated in real time, with no playbook and no obvious right answer. Does your week sometimes look like that?
“Learn to Lead” made the case that human connection as a strategic capability – and one that matters more, not less, as AI reshapes how we work.
Security proves it daily: the strongest controls fail without trust, judgment and people who feel safe enough to flag the thing that looks off.
I particularly liked the idea of cognitive upsizing when using AI – yes, offload tasks to the machine, but use the freed up bandwidth for deeper thinking and to solve even more ambitious challenges.
The throughline across both: lead through uncertainty instead of waiting for a certainty that isn’t coming, and pair the data with real human connection. Neither is enough on its own.
Grateful to the facilitators and the people I learned alongside.
