The Mike Method Ep59 The Future of Leadership: Human Skills in an AI World with Dr. Hilary Curry
What does it really take to lead in a world that keeps shifting under our feet?
Mike Desjardins and Dr. Hilary Curry get into the real stuff of leadership—what actually matters now, and what’s going to matter even more in the future. They talk about how so many professionals are missing the mark on critical thinking, and how creativity (the kind AI just can’t touch) is becoming a serious competitive edge.
They reflect on how easy it is to miscommunicate when we’re not being intentional, and why emotional intelligence isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must. Adaptability comes up a lot too: how do we stay grounded and flexible when the pace of change is relentless?
Failure comes up—not as something to avoid, but as something to learn from. And there's a big reminder here that time and attention are our most precious currencies. When we use them to build deeper connections and choose collaboration over competition, that’s where real momentum happens.
This one’s a thoughtful, energizing listen for anyone navigating leadership, change, or just trying to show up better—for themselves and their teams.
