Michigan Ross Executive Education is heading to UNLEASH!

Join Michigan Ross Clinical Associate Professor Dr. Marcus Collins for his session, “The Skills AI Can’t Commoditise: Why the Hardest Skills at Work Are the Ones We Still Call Soft.”

Drawing on his forthcoming book, GOOD SOIL, he will also examine why a skills gap may sometimes be an environment gap, and how culture, leadership, incentives, and workplace conditions help people turn their capabilities into performance.

Embrace AI, but stay grounded in human judgment. Move quickly, but thoughtfully. Encourage experimentation, but don't overlook risk.

Leadership in the age of AI comes with plenty of tensions.

Michigan Ross faculty Nigel P. Melville and Monica Worline brought those tensions into focus during our first session at Breaking Through L.A., inviting attendees into a conversation about the opportunities, uncertainties, and competing demands AI is creating for leaders.

Through collaborative exercises and lively discussion, attendees explored just how differently leaders approach these challenges.

More conversations and moments from Breaking Through coming soon!
