"Here's what I know today" — when did honesty become a radical leadership strategy?

KeyAnna Schmiedl makes the case that the worst thing a leader can do right now is disappear into a huddle, crafting the "perfect" message about AI and the future of work while their people sit in uncertainty.
Her advice? Say what you know. Admit what you don't. Then go talk to your people — one real conversation at a time.

Is your leadership designing for the future, or just letting it happen?

As organizations adopt diverse flavors of AI more widely and scale applications across the enterprise, managing new risks that arise in the development process or during application use becomes increasingly complex. New and adaptive forms of governance must be put in place and systematically embedded across processes so that companies can gain the benefits of moving quickly with AI innovation without exposing themselves or stakeholders to harms. >> https://mitsmr.com/3SfLKa1

Finance offices have been slow to meaningfully adopt artificial intelligence, often due to leaders’ perception of the function’s traditional role. Finance leaders who encourage teams to stay alert to changes in the business environment, experiment in the course of work, think differently about the future, and embed new practices may see greater AI adoption and benefits. https://mitsmr.com/49D1XMt

At a time of high stress and uncertainty, leaders must increasingly spend time and energy steadying their people. However, work like comforting a team after layoffs or explaining a change of direction takes a toll. And as this work grows, women leaders report that they are doing an outsize portion of it compared with men. That’s bad news not only for valuable female leaders but also the organizations trying to retain them. But both can learn how to better address the empathy tax. >> https://mitsmr.com/49MfFgf

In this episode of the Me, Myself, and AI podcast, Philips’s chief medical officer Carla Goulart Peron shares how artificial intelligence is reshaping health care — not by replacing clinicians but by expanding access, improving diagnostics, and freeing doctors to focus more time on patients. Drawing on her experience practicing medicine in Brazil’s strained public health system, she explains how technologies like AI-assisted imaging and remote collaboration can bridge critical gaps in care. Carla also explores the challenges of trust, bias, interoperability, and women’s health data in the next era of AI-enabled medicine. She offers a grounded, global perspective on how technology can make health care more human.

The instinct to win drives most leaders. But the most resilient companies understand something less obvious: Looking beyond your own self-interest to strengthen your broader ecosystem is often what builds lasting industry leadership.

The new issue of MIT Sloan Management Review explores this across three fronts: Why managers should get off the sidelines of quantum computing now, what truly makes leaders successful at crisis management, and what Caterpillar’s massive data transformation teaches CEOs about owning these initiatives.

Leaders rarely think about adventure as a facet in supporting their working lives. It can sound frivolous and too personal, and it can be risky in a corporate context. But when people talk about their working lives, they often highlight the adventures they’ve had along the way, making it clear that these experiences influenced who they are professionally. The reasons? Adventure disrupts accumulated patterns, expands who we can become, and creates markers across the life course. >> https://mitsmr.com/4eLOPYL
