Will AI Replace You? Not if You’ve Got a Beating Heart.

Leadership is not a search query. It’s a human skill.
“Will I be replaced by AI?”Great question. If you believe the headlines, it’s already curtains for us humans.
But here’s the reality I see every day: AI is making human leadership more important — not less.
Sure, AI can crunch numbers faster than you can say “quarterly report.” It can draft a tidy email. It can even write a halfway decent meeting agenda.
But it can’t:
· Sit with a struggling employee and help them through it.
· Rebuild trust after a tough conversation.
· Speak with empathy to a grieving family.
Try asking ChatGPT to script that conversation. I promise — it won’t land.
Leadership isn’t about data. It’s about heart, intuition, timing, and trust — all things that can’t be programmed.
So, here’s to AI — for helping with the busy work. And here’s to great leaders — for doing the real work.
You’re safe — as long as you keep leading like a human.
