Hi Reader,
We’re in the FAFO era of leadership.
School districts. Fortune 100s. Nonprofits. Higher ed. Across the board, we EFFED AROUND—handing middle management titles to guys who looked the part but barely stretched beyond their individual contributor lanes. They stayed comfortable. They kept each other comfortable.
Now we’re in the FIND OUT phase.
We’re facing history-making decisions about AI—and the people at the table? Many of them don’t have the experience, instincts, or training to lead us through it. Change management, psychological safety, stakeholder communication, creative problem-solving, career pathing—these are human skills. Often undervalued. Often carried by women.
The good news? AI doesn’t care about hierarchies. It doesn’t care about corner offices.
We come in as leaders. We raise our hands as “the AI person.” We launch AI Councils. Propose ethical frameworks. Lead pilots. Share use cases. Train teams.
That’s the conversation we’re having on the very first She Leads AI Live - The End of Top-Down Leadership: How to Lead With Empathy in the AI Era (today at 11am PDT - or catch the replay!)
Join us.
