AI is transforming how we work faster than most videogame teams can absorb. This research-grounded, hands-on workshop will cut through the hype to deliver what leaders need: practical, neuroscience-based tools for leading through change with confidence, and for harnessing human and AI strengths together to achieve what neither can do alone. The session will work through themes such as:
* Evolve your leadership identity--because how leaders think of themselves and their role needs to change in the age of AI.
* Foster emotional safety and trust--how emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and more can help people feel better, so they can work better in this time of uncertainty and change
* Orchestrate humans and AIs--everyone on your team is a manager now, because they are managing AIs. Work through how you can get the best from both humans and AIs.
