The industrial era was defined by the need to know everything. The new industrial revolution is defined by the need to learn and learn and relearn without inflexibility and attachment.
In this episode, Simon Ashton joins us for a conversation where he shares his views on the mainstream approaches to business education, the perception and implementation of emotional intelligence, and the tools that leaders need to develop to thrive in uncertain times. And, help us answers questions like:
- Which intelligences will become increasingly relevant as we move into the age of AI?
- And how do we construct a learning culture to support their development?
