Graham Anthony, assistant vice president of for educational technologies and innovation, asks in a new column for Rochester Business Journal, “How do we prepare our leaders for a world where intelligence is becoming a commodity?”
The conversation around AI in the executive suite has shifted remarkably fast. What began as curiosity about chatbots has become an urgent strategic question: how do we prepare our leaders for a world where intelligence is becoming a commodity? The answer isn’t as simple as adding a module on prompt engineering to an existing leadership program. It requires a more honest look at what skills matter now, and which ones will matter even more in the years ahead.
Two categories emerge when we think about executive development in this moment. The first is a set of timeless capabilities that are rapidly increasing in importance. The second is a collection of genuinely new skills that most leaders have never been asked to develop. There has long been a focus on developing these skills in isolation, but the combination of them will be more important than ever in the future.
