The Matrix, West World, Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, and many other films and books have presented a dystopian vision of humanity's future. The abilities and skills of the heroic leaders we followed in these works seem unattainable, and our perception of AI is so influenced by them that we feel it's a competition between the machine and the hero-leader, where one will eventually replace the other.<br><br><strong><em>What is the reality?<\/em><\/strong><br><br>La Harvard Business Review presents the controversy as follows: <em>\"The question of whether AI will replace human workers assumes that AI and humans have the same qualities and capabilities - but in reality, this is not the case. AI-based machines are fast, more accurate, and always rational, but they are not intuitive, emotional, or sensitive to culture. These are precisely the abilities that humans possess and which make us effective.\"<\/em><br><br>Organizations have increasingly sophisticated digital tools that were unimaginable just a few years ago; clearly, AI is destroying jobs and creating others, just as has happened over thousands of years of human history, where almost every progress, feared at the beginning, eventually got tamed and adapted to real life.<br><br>Toutefois, les r\u00f4les qu\u2019occupent les leaders dans nos organisations sont des plus sophistiqu\u00e9s, et les organisations elles-m\u00eames sont des organismes vivants et complexes r\u00e9gis par des valeurs qui d\u00e9passent les simples objectifs financiers.<br><br><strong>LEADER vs INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE<\/strong><br><br><strong>Relational Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence<\/strong><br><br>Avec l\u2019analyse des micro-expressions du visage, de la posture, de ce qui est dit, des messages \u00e9crits, l\u2019IA pourra bient\u00f4t d\u00e9tecter les signaux de d\u00e9mobilisation des employ\u00e9s, mais elle ne pourra pas ma\u00eetriser l\u2019intelligence relationnelle (l\u2019\u00e9coute active) et l\u2019intelligence \u00e9motionnelle (l\u2019empathie) pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 ces signaux. Les leaders devront continuer \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper ce type d\u2019intelligences, pour assurer une compl\u00e9mentarit\u00e9 avec l\u2019IA. En effet, plus sophistiqu\u00e9s sont les outils, plus les <em>soft skills<\/em> requises d\u2019un leader sont indispensables, parce que c\u2019est \u00e0 lui que revient la responsabilit\u00e9 de les implanter et d\u2019optimiser leur utilisation au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe et surtout de g\u00e9rer les r\u00e9ticences et les inqui\u00e9tudes. L\u2019IA ne poss\u00e8de pas de subjectivit\u00e9, ne ressent pas les \u00e9motions, ne se met pas \u00e0 la place de l\u2019autre, et donc ne peut ressentir et utiliser de l\u2019empathie (pas encore en tout cas). Or, un collaborateur qui re\u00e7oit une mauvaise nouvelle, ou qui vit une situation difficile, ou qui a des difficult\u00e9s dans ses t\u00e2ches, a besoin d\u2019une empathie r\u00e9elle de la part de son leader, pas simul\u00e9e, et cette comp\u00e9tence prend une importance accrue dans une monde en transformation de plus en plus rapide et complexe.<br><br><strong>Cognitive Intelligence and Gognitive Flexibility<\/strong><br><br>Here is the translation:\n\nAs cognitive intelligence is now mastered by AI, the leader will need to develop cognitive flexibility (his ability to adapt) in order to handle constantly evolving situations. He will need to develop advanced cognitive skills, such as ethical reflection, analyzing complex situations, openness to diversity, managing creative thinking, and developing collaborative strategies. While AI provides him with data and analysis in a fast and optimal way, he will have to decide how to handle them. When AI informs him with a graph that Fred is behind on his performance target, it is up to him to discuss the issue with Fred to find the root of the problem and address it. If AI signals a decrease in engagement within the team, it is up to him to understand the deep motivations and working styles of the team members and design improvement and resolution strategies with them. He must also develop the ability to critically assess the data provided by AI.<br><br><strong>Advice for Leaders<\/strong><br><br><strong>Formez vous<\/strong><br>You must tame the beast before deploying it for use in your team. Understand how AI works and affects your business, how it can add value to your operations, by educating yourself about the topic in your industry and seeking advice and tips from experts.<br><br><strong>Soyez empathiques ET transparents<\/strong><br>It is true that it is problematic when an employee contests the adoption of AI; it's the same employee who refused to use the internet 25 years ago. However, the reluctance is understandable and must be acknowledged, and discussing it is the first step toward acceptance. The employee wants reassurance and also appreciates honesty.<br><br><strong>Communiquez clairement:<\/strong> In detail and with supporting examples, explain to the concerned employees the redistribution of tasks between them and the AI, and how this will affect their daily work, emphasizing the advantages that will allow them to become more efficient, free themselves from repetitive and time-consuming tasks, and focus on more intellectually stimulating projects that they say they never have time to tackle.<br><br><strong>Faites participer vos collaborateurs au processus d\u00e9cisionnel:<\/strong> When implementing AI, ask for the opinions and concerns of your employees. An employee who is listened to will feel valued and respected, and will actively contribute to the success of the project.<br><br><strong>Priorisez la relation humaine avec vos collaborateurs:<\/strong> There is no turning back, AI is here to stay, AND humans are here to control it. Train your collaborators technically because new skills need to be introduced, such as AI ethics, vigilance against cyberattacks, etc., and don't forget the emotional aspect; training on change management is very relevant in this context. If your employee manages to adopt an open attitude, they will feel in control of the situation and not the other way around. They will treat AI as a tool at their disposal and won't feel threatened by it.<br><br><strong>Prenez soin de votre sant\u00e9 psychologique et physique\u00a0:<\/strong> AI is a machine that can operate 24\/7 without sick leave, holidays, etc. It will provide you with information continuously. Not you.<br><br><strong>To conclude, while this is really just the beginning...<\/strong><br><br>AI is entering organizations, and leaders are learning to relinquish part of their power to an algorithm, delegating certain tasks to it that it can perform more efficiently.<br>Thanks to AI, leaders will be freed from time-consuming tasks (such as project planning and management, monitoring, applying standards and regulations, etc.). Their operations will be enhanced, and their decisions more informed because they will be assisted by a smart, high-performance tool (optimizing emails, data, and resources, scheduling appointments, personalizing presentations, etc.). This will allow them to focus more on human activities with their teams and on the development of creative and innovative strategies.<br><br>Une des multitudes questions qui se posent d\u00e9sormais est la suivante\u00a0: Si la d\u00e9cision strat\u00e9gique que prendra un jour le leader, bas\u00e9e sur l\u2019analyse des donn\u00e9es (provenant de l\u2019IA ou non), son intuition, son exp\u00e9rience, son expertise, mais aussi sujette aux biais cognitifs, contredise celle prise par l\u2019IA, <strong>quelle autorit\u00e9 va pr\u00f4ner?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\"It is not the strongest species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one that is most responsive to change.\" \u2013 Charles Darwin<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-8296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ressources","tag-article"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8296"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8304,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8296\/revisions\/8304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leaderzone.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
