Can AI save a fearful culture?

My groundbreaking research on leadership shows that one-third of leaders across the US, UK, and Australia lead with fear, either consciously or unconsciously, and this costs firms in workplace culture, performance, and revenue. So, can AI save this? 

The fantastic thing about AI is that, as a leader, you are able to draw best practices from top-performing examples - becoming knowledgeable of how to be a better leader on paper and being able to synthesise different strategies from all over the world. I’d encourage the use of AI as a first step to becoming a better leader by brainstorming ideas and getting advice. 

However, the way you show up and interact with everyone else in your team and the broader business is actually what drives culture and performance. This is about being brave, clear and fair.  Doing this will give your team the best chance of feeling respected, while setting the standard of behaviour you expect from them.  

This kind of culture can’t be achieved by AI prompts; it is on you as a leader to implement. By personally targeting fear in your leadership and the workplace, culture, motivation and performance thrive.
