The nature of management is about to fundamentally change. As the workforce evolves, leaders will be responsible not just for managing people, but for directing entire fleets of AI agents. But the skills that make a great manager of humans don’t always translate to managing a digital workforce. Join us for a forward-looking discussion as we explore the emerging gap between human-centric leadership and AI agent management.
We will dive into the new rules of leadership, covering critical topics such as: Incentives & Performance: Moving from motivating people with soft skills to programming desired outcomes with algorithmic logic. Hiring & Firing: How to evaluate, select, and “fire” third-party AI solutions, and the new challenge of knowledge transfer. Autonomy & Trust: Shifting from trusting human judgment to building robust guardrails and rollback plans for autonomous agents. Accountability & Ethics: Redefining accountability when an AI fails and the importance of having a human in the loop.
