5 Leadership Changes You Need to Make in the Age of AI

As AI becomes part of how work gets done every day, the old idea of the leader as the smartest person in the room is fading. A recent Fast Company article looks at the five shifts leaders need to make and features Avantika Sharma, Global Head of Healthcare at Brillio.

In a regulated industry like healthcare, Avantika takes a risk-based approach to leading. Compliance, data governance, transparency and operational reliability are fixed. How a solution gets designed is where she gives her teams room. She sees her role as framing the problem, agreeing on outcomes and setting the guardrails. She also argues that speed and responsibility should be kept apart. AI can prioritize work and spot patterns faster than any team, but people still own judgment and validation.

The article’s core idea is that leadership is moving from directing people to designing systems where humans and machines think together.
