This module moves beyond traditional management to explore the "multiplier effect" of leading in an intelligent enterprise. In an AI-driven world, leadership is no longer about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions and fostering a culture where humans and machines augment each other’s strengths. You will learn to navigate the shift from being a "commander" to being an "orchestrator," managing teams where algorithms handle the heavy lifting of data analysis while humans provide the empathy, intuition, and ethical judgment.
You will learn to manage the "human elements" of technological change. From mitigating the fear of automation to redesigning roles for a "human-AI" hybrid workforce, this subject ensures you can lead with psychological safety and strategic clarity. In an era where tech moves fast but people and cultures move slow, you will become the leader who can synchronize the two, ensuring that AI becomes a tool for empowerment rather than a source of displacement.
