People & Talent Club - The AI Leadership Playbook: A Workshop in Five Plays

Join us to learn how to actively manage tech-induced anxiety and redesign your team's workflows without sacrificing speed, or psychological safety.

While AI is fundamentally reshaping the modern workforce, the leadership principles required to navigate it aren't new — they've just been rebranded. Backed by the latest Cegos Barometer data, this interactive session cuts through standard corporate buzzwords to deliver five pragmatic tactics for leading teams through technological disruption. We will challenge the universal "collaboration at all costs" mindset, exploring why reciprocal truth trumps one-way transparency, how 1930s "Commander's Intent" is the ultimate key to AI empowerment, and why traditional permission-seeking and command structures can actually accelerate your business. 

What You’ll Learn 

Our speakers will focus on 4-5 key 'plays' relating to employee anxiety around AI and the impact of AI on workforce trust and dynamics:

• Calm is Contagious
• Truth Trumps Transparency
• Intent Inspires Initiative
• Permission Protects Progress
• Psychology Precedes Productivity

The session will be moderated by Melanie Stancliffe, Employment Partner at Freeths.
