In this episode, Sarah, Learning Events Manager at HRDQ, sits down with leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry to discuss key insights from the upcoming webinar, The Flexible Leader’s Playbook: Leading Effectively Now. With over 30 years of experience working with leaders in 50+ countries, Kevin shares his perspective on AI’s impact on leadership, highlighting two extreme mindsets—those who see AI as revolutionary versus those who resist change—and advocates for a balanced approach. He also introduces the Flexible Leadership Framework, emphasizing three core elements: intention, context, and flexors. Kevin explains why many leaders operate on autopilot and how developing a conscious leadership playbook can enhance adaptability in today’s fast-changing world. Lastly, he identifies a critical gap in leadership development—while training often focuses on skills, mindset and habit formation are frequently overlooked. He explains why sustainable leadership growth requires all three.
