During the conversation, Jessica and Kristen discussed the future of leadership in the workplace and what will matter most for our next generation of change leaders. Says Kristen, "What's the one thing you can't replicate? Your humanness, your authenticity, and your being you. Make yourself irreplaceable, and if the only way to do that is to be authentic, that's what it is."
Highlights from the conversation include:
☑️ A dive into why authenticity will drive the success of future workplace leaders
☑️ How changes like artificial intelligence (AI) are causing shifts in the types of skills people will need in leadership roles
☑️ The idea that we need both leaders and followers at work and understanding when a leadership role might not be the best fit for you
