My personal summary of the event yesterday
With a 24 hour break in between today my summary of impressions and thoughts triggered after the event yesterday. You can get the detailed agenda and list of participating thought provokers and leaders from the
Future of Leadership Salon 2024 homepage.
In the moment Germany is falling more behind other countries like e.g. USA, China, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. with respect to economy, technology expertise & leadership, and in a lot of other areas as well. It feels more like a general lethargy than a mood of optimism. The right time to reboot and to make a wave. Starting with a small one that should become bigger and bigger. We started with one day per year yesterday (after a several year COVID-19 break for face-2-face salons), but need to make this an every day focus on future leadership as quickly as possible, to drive and make a change going forward. YES this is work, will cost time and money, and requires CHANGE, BUT there is no alternative and we need to get going quickly. Better start earlier than later, WHY not next week Monday?
And you do not need to own a box in an org-chart to start doing something - leadership is not a position but rather a mindset - so be the change you want to see and become a role model for other people, who are still behind in their thinking and personal development process. Below some of the notes I have taken and thoughts/ideas I liked a lot:
you can be leading outside of a line management position
we had the Earth Day lately (22-Apr-24), let's save mother earth before going to Mars
we need 15 Gutenberg moments every day
where is AI in your org chart?
AI in sports: Wilson's basketball with sensors
Book: Factfulness By Hans Rosling
be more human centric by using technology
LEAD approach: leadership - experience - authority - direction
humans are not rational, especially parents
7-stages of AI
learn - unlearn - relearn, collective intelligence: humans together with AI, soft skills are hard to learn
emotional ability to learn will outsmart AI - if you have a brain you are biased - from homo sapiens to homo sensing
leaders as agility alchemists

Let's embrace PROTOPIA, a positive outlook into the future
What does OpenAI think about the topic? See below:
The future of leadership in the next 5 to 25 years is poised to be dynamic and transformative, shaped by technology, globalization, and changing workforce dynamics. Leaders will need to embrace versatility, adaptability, and innovation to navigate the complexities of the rapidly evolving business landscape. A key focus will be on developing empathetic and inclusive leadership approaches to foster collaboration, creativity, and resilience among diverse teams.
Leadership in the future will revolve around harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and other emerging technologies to drive decision-making and strategy formulation. The emphasis will shift towards authentic and ethical leadership practices that prioritize sustainability, social responsibility, and long-term value creation. As businesses become more interconnected and interdependent, the future leader will need to cultivate a global mindset, cross-cultural competence, and digital fluency to steer organizations towards sustainable growth and prosperity.
So we have the AI opinion above, my personal highlights in the text and a Sketch note summary of some experts in the 4 pictures attached. Make your choice and just do something, it is urgently required. Maybe start with one day per month and increase it to one day per week quickly, before you make it an everyday activity. Just one idea ...
