Bridging humanity and technology: Brene Brown on leadership's new challenge | Fortune
"Today's leaders face a paradox: the incredible speed of change in the workplace, alongside a deep human need for connection, which requires courage and vulnerability. Brown explained that we can choose to be on "team technology" or "team human," but "the future will belong to those of us who can straddle the paradox of humanity and technology." Both are needed, she affirmed."
"Over the past two years, leaders have navigated unprecedented uncertainty and complexity, managing this challenge at every turn, Brown said. The future of AI is a paradox itself, balancing innovation and regulation, speed and human involvement, even physics and philosophy, she said. Our minds want to resolve such issues quickly, so we tap out before solving the problem, Brown explained. "If you can hold onto the conflict long enough, something innovative and new will emerge," she said."
Leaders face a paradox: rapid workplace change coinciding with a deep human need for connection that requires courage and vulnerability. The future will favor those who can straddle humanity and technology rather than choosing one side. AI itself creates paradoxes that balance innovation with regulation, speed with human involvement, and technical limits with philosophical questions. Minds often seek quick resolution and may abandon complexity before breakthrough; holding conflict longer can produce innovation. Paradoxical thinking and integrating AI with human strengths are essential for growth. Roughly 78% of enterprises are deploying AI, and 75% of one vendor's customers use its AI capabilities with a commitment to responsible, human-centric deployment.
