How do you reconcile the speed of disruption with the time it takes to build human capability?

In this episode, Kahina shares why people leaders need to get comfortable being behind, why vulnerability might be the most important leadership behavior of this moment, and how Workleap is building AI capability through company-wide experimentation.

Drawing on her unique journey from law and humanitarian diplomacy into people leadership, Kahina brings a deeply human perspective to AI transformation. She explores why high performers may be more at risk of cognitive overload, how AI is turning individual contributors into mini-managers, and why critical judgment may be the defining capability of our time.

Kahina makes the case for shared language, context, and precision as the foundations for teams to work effectively with AI and each other.

If you're navigating AI transformation and looking for a refreshingly honest take from someone in the thick of it, this episode is for you.
