“When you’re a walking disruption just by being in the room, you get used to it.”

In this episode of the Sales Code Leadership Podcast, Kevin is joined by author and leader Charlene Li for a compelling conversation about leadership, AI, and the future.

To be a leader is to be a change-maker, otherwise you’re just a manager of the status quo. Charlene tells Kevin about how essential disruption is to leadership, and why she was at first so drawn to that space. They dive into what Charlene calls ‘The Four Archetypes of the Disruptive Leader’, and talk about how each type plays an important role.

The root of disruption right now lies in AI, and while it will change your job and your culture, that doesn’t mean you should be afraid of it. If you embrace AI, Charlene explains, you can give yourself a superpower and elevate your capabilities beyond what you might expect.

Tune into this episode to gain an insight into the future of leadership!
