Leadership is sharing power with others to accomplish the essential tasks of life.
To build community and dignity with a clear mind and compassion.
Would you let a robot lead you?
Meet Ada the robot.
It requires an ability to listen and the capability to learn and grow with a clear mind and compassion.
Ada is a robotic art exhibition created by the artist Aidan Meller.
She's an ultra realistic robot who can draw and paint and give speeches about the troubling impacts of new technologies.
Her artwork makes people think about how AI and technology is changing the world.
So what's Adas top tip for leaders of the future?
In order to truly appreciate the opportunities that are emerging, we need to first understand the past.
With this, we can be more aware and flexible to deal with an unpredictable future.
The world is changing.
The future is not what we consider it to be.
It is requiring from us a willingness to give up our comfort zone.
Ada says that future leaders need to give up their comfort zone or the ways of working which feel familiar and safe.
But what should leaders not do?
Ignore themselves.
It is a component of leadership that the individual takes responsibility for their own well being, dignity and happiness, and is prepared to take steps to change your life.
Many of the leaders in this series have talked about the importance of teamwork.
But Ada says good leaders should also be individuals.
