Description
This presentation investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence and leader development, contrasting AI’s relentless daily learning and improvement with the imperative for intentional human growth. It explores how individuals can cultivate a strong “leader identity” through the power of tiny, consistent changes (atomic habits), daily micro-votes that reinforce desired identities across spirit, mind, and body, and the biblical practice of stacking virtues (2 Peter 1:5-8). The content integrates the nine-item Leader Identity Scale and guides participants to elevate their leader identity and effectiveness in an AI-driven era.
