548: Standing Out in the Age of AI with Pascal Bornet

by

I find that I’m reading more and more books on the topic of AI these days.

Why? Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that if you don’t want to be left behind, you need embrace the world of AI and embrace it ASAP.

Today, my guest’s book is designed to help you do exactly that. His name is Pascal Bornet, and his book is called IRREPLACEABLE: How to Stand Out in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

With over 20 years of pioneering research at the human-AI intersection, Pascal reveals the secrets to living in harmony with AI while cultivating uniquely human qualities. He introduces the Three Competencies of the Future that we need to develop urgently to thrive in our new world.

Whether you’re an individual looking to future-proof your career, a parent aiming to raise future-proof children, or a business leader eager to steer your organization through technological disruption, IRREPLACEABLE offers a universal and comprehensive framework.

AI is not the destination; it’s the vehicle that takes us to a more human future, and this book is your GPS.

Stand out. Become IRREPLACEABLE.

This month, inside the Read to Lead Community online, our theme is FEAR. How to act despite fear, to be even more specific.

The fears we dive into today include failure, rejection, success (yes, that’s a fear too), inadequacy (aka imposter syndrome), change, judgment or criticism, discomfort or difficulty, and disappointing others.

I also recommend a book to help tackle each of these with links below (you’re not surprised, are you?).

In this episode, you’ll learn how specific fears tend to show up, the impact they can have on your life when they go unchecked, methods for tackling each, head on, and specific actions steps you can take this week to push through (Hint: baby steps, and consistent, forward progress).

545: The Long-Distance Leader Second Edition with Wayne Turmel

by

I am delighted to welcome Wayne Turmel to the show. A second edition of the book The Long-Distance Leader, co-written with Kevin Eikenberry, has been released, updated for a post-pandemic world.

This new version also has a new title. It’s The Long-Distance Leader: Revised Rules for Remarkable Remote and Hybrid Leadership.

When The Long-Distance Leader was first published, it was pre-pandemic and remote work was in its infancy, with 30% of managers leading at a distance. Now that number is well over 50%!

As more organizations adopt a remote workforce, the challenges of leading at a distance become more urgent than ever. The cofounders of the Remote Leadership Institute, Kevin Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel, show you how to guide your team by recalling the foundational principles of leadership whether your teams are remote, hybrid, co-working, or something entirely new!

The new edition comes with an updated and enriched framework for the modern workplace. It introduces new principles and retains proven strategies for effective leadership across distances.

It also features updated exercises that ensure projects stay on track, keep productivity and morale high, and build lasting relationships, along with a new chapter on hybrid workplaces.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Wayne, Kevin, and their work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
