Is disruption always bad, or can it be your greatest asset?
In today’s world of relentless change–where the global talent pool is expanding and advancements in AI and machine learning are accelerating–disruption has become the new normal.
But amidst this chaos, should we seek to disrupt ourselves even more instead of just being disrupted? Today’s guest says yes.
Meet Terence Mauri. Terence is a global expert on the future of leadership, AI, and disruption. As founder of the future trends think tank Hack Future Lab, he helps leaders find the upside of disruption and rethink leadership for a post-AI world. He has been described as “an influential and outspoken expert on the future of leadership” by Thinkers50, the global authority on today’s top business thinkers.
Today, Terence and I discuss why disruption shouldn’t be feared and how we can reframe it as an opportunity rather than a threat.
We’ll also dive into practical strategies for reducing complexity within organizations, how to democratize change, unlocking your inner disruption muscle, and more.
