The introduction of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT appeared to come out of nowhere, with capabilities that didn\u2019t seem possible even a year ago. This has led to concern about what it will mean for the future of work. It seems a forgone conclusion that generative AI will threaten to fully supplant the need for human involvement in some job functions. It could replace programmers, paralegals, and even teachers in the years ahead, according to Insider.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played around with a generative AI tool, you probably get where the worry comes from. The technology is incredibly capable; it\u2019s hard to argue that work won\u2019t change. And some of that change may include people losing out to ones and zeros flowing through a server somewhere.<\/p>\n

Yet, I\u2019m skeptical that \u201cthings will never be the same.\u201d Remember when COVID would do away with handshaking and mask-less airplane trips? I\u2019m writing this from an airport and can assure you that the prediction missed the mark. Remember when companies were going to let employees work fully remote forever? As this Insider list makes clear, that\u2019s a dying theory. Those of a certain age may recall that the advent of video conferencing and email would do away with business travel. Wrong.<\/p>\n

Prepare As AI Becomes Increasingly Capable<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, while there\u2019s little doubt that generative AI will change the world of work, entire swaths of humanity being replaced in certain sectors is, I think, a bit hyperbolic. Almost always, emerging technologies spawn new industries or workstreams humans must handle. The World Economic Forum notes that by 2025, technology (including generative AI) will create 12 million more jobs than it will destroy. Young professionals would be foolish not to consider what AI means for their work futures. How do you inoculate yourself against the changes that are coming? How do you stay relevant?<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

The answer: develop leadership skills.<\/p>\n

Leading others is something generative AI tools can\u2019t do. The intuition, charisma, relationship-building, and other traits common in a great leader don\u2019t exist in generative AI. Even ChatGPT realizes this. I prompted the technology with this question: Can you lead people? The answer: I don\u2019t have personal agency or the ability to physically lead people in the way a human leader would.<\/em><\/p>\n

Leadership is, at its core, a human endeavor. It relies on people engaging with others and bringing different perspectives to make decisions or solve complex problems. It often involves the \u201cgut.\u201d As the Harvard Business Review<\/em> notes: \u201cWhile it\u2019s true that intuition can be fallible, studies show that pairing gut feelings with analytical thinking helps you make better, faster, and more accurate decisions, and gives you more confidence in your choices than relying on intellect alone.\u201d Generative AI doesn\u2019t have a \u201cgut.\u201d You do. You can use that to your advantage.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t only<\/em> use your gut. Take time to learn what leadership is and use frameworks to guide your thinking. Contrary to what many believe, some aspects of leadership can be learned. As this Forbes<\/em> article notes, there are important traits that great leaders are born with, or at least manifest at a very young age. Yet, there are things outside of genetics that increase a leader\u2019s efficacy. Coaching, 360\u00b0 assessments, personality quizzes, and domain knowledge all increase your ability to lead successfully. Not coincidentally, we\u2019ve taken the importance of the first two items (coaching and self-assessment) to heart in the design of many of Harvard Business School\u2019s online leadership certificate programs and executive education programs. It turns out that to lead others, you need to know yourself.<\/p>\n

In fact, Harvard Business School Professor Joshua Margolis notes in this HBS Online video that self-awareness is a key component of emotional intelligence, also known as EQ. Knowing yourself and having EQ is part of being a living, breathing, and conscious<\/em> entity. Machines, even sophisticated ones, don\u2019t have consciousness like you do. They can\u2019t have EQ. And since EQ is a significant part of being a successful leader, you\u2019re at a distinct advantage if you have it\u2014not just in future workplaces, but in your current role. And don\u2019t think that if you\u2019re an individual contributor you don\u2019t need to study leadership. You do. Developing yourself as a leader is not something you do the day before you are asked to lead a project team. Learn now so you are ready later.<\/p>\n

Cogito, ergo sum.<\/em> I think, therefore I am. <\/em>So wrote Descartes in 1637. His simple phrase became a foundation for much of Western philosophy. If he\u2019d written his dictum today, he might have instead penned, \u201cI lead, therefore I am.\u201d It\u2019s leadership in an AI-infused world that makes you distinctly human. Embrace opportunities to practice it early and often. Study it. It\u2019s one of the only things keeping the robots from taking over your job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
