AI isn’t just transforming how we work — it’s reshaping what leadership and teamwork mean.

I recently sat down with a CHRO, and we discussed how, as AI becomes embedded in workflows, leaders will need new capabilities. Questions will emerge about the future span of control: what does it mean to oversee a “team” when part of that team consists of AI agents?

This raises questions we've never had to answer before. What does collaboration look like when part of your team isn't human? How do you coach, delegate, and make decisions when some of your "team members" are systems?

Here's what stood out in our conversation: the leaders who thrive won't be the ones resisting this shift. They'll be the ones building collaboration between humans and AI — and that requires a completely different skill set.

We have to utilize trust and adaptability — the willingness to experiment with new structures and let go of old playbooks.
