Synopsis
If AI takes over more of the work managers do today, what will managers still be needed for?
If you are a middle manager, you may wonder why you still spend so much of your day in meetings, chasing updates, preparing reports, and passing information between people who should be able to work together directly.
You are expected to lead, yet much of your time is consumed by coordination and administration. The Human Router explores what happens when managers are no longer needed mainly to move information and coordinate work and can finally spend time on what the job should always have been about:
* Develop & coach their people
* Focus on meaningful work and contribution
* Spend time taking their teams, departments, business units forward instead of suffering through meeting marathons, approval sagas, and 'death by PowerPoint' presentations
It examines how organizations may change, why teams can become more autonomous, and what leaders will need to do differently as AI becomes part of everyday work.
The future of leadership means spending more time on topics where technology is least helpful: the human moments that require judgment, courage, responsibility, and trust.
Axel Rittershaus has worked with leaders and organizations worldwide for nearly two decades. As an executive coach, leadership advisor, and advisor, he has taught more than 300,000 learners & leaders in over 140 countries. As a former IT entrepreneur, his expertise in the technical and human sides of AI transformation is sought by companies worldwide.
