How is AI disrupting leadership roles?

This includes testing more flexible leadership models and integrating AI into workforce planning.

“Bring HR, business, finance, and technology leaders together to align work redesign with staffing, skills, and technology needs,” the report said.

It also urged CHROs to move away from generic AI training towards more practical training tied to leaders’ actual work, while helping them build critical judgement, systems thinking, risk awareness, coaching, empathy and the ability to provide context.

It further advised CHROs to define who owns AI-related decisions and who remains accountable for AI-generated outputs, and urged them to balance AI speed with human judgement.

“Build in time for reflection, review, and coaching so faster work doesn’t compromise quality, learning, or accountability,” the report read.
