Strategy & Leadership
Tech & AI
If AI takes over a growing share of management, what is left for leaders? In this LinkedIn Masterclass RESKILL, Emmanuel Coblence, Professor of Leadership at HEC Paris, explores how their role is being reshaped.
Drawing on research and real-world business cases in which AI is already automating managerial tasks or supporting decision-making, he shows how this transformation increases the value of distinctly human capabilities.
Judgment, social intelligence, the ability to navigate uncertainty and to create meaning are becoming more decisive. Yet these skills cannot be developed through knowledge alone: they grow through experimentation, feedback and engagement with others. Leaders therefore face a dual challenge: learning how to work with AI while drawing the line between what can be automated and what must remain under human responsibility.
- AI is automating a growing share of procedural management, without eliminating the need for leadership.
- Judgment, social intelligence and the ability to create meaning are becoming more valuable.
- Leadership develops through experience, feedback and learning from peers.
- Automation requires distinguishing reversible decisions from choices with significant human consequences.
- Tomorrow’s leaders will need to intervene less systematically and become better at knowing when to act.
- The challenge is not simply to use AI, but to rethink the role of the leader around it.
