✅✨Description: In this thought-provoking episode of the Leadership Disrupted podcast, we are joined by Bernie Youngblood, Director of Partnerships for Hot Logic and host of the Unboxing the Office podcast. Together, we tackle the growing disillusionment in the modern workplace and the radical shifts required to lead effectively in an era of "creative destruction."Modern leadership is at a crossroads. As AI, social media, and information overwhelm converge, the old "management by spreadsheet" model is failing. Bernie shares his unique perspective on why treating organizations as human systems—rather than machines—is the only way to survive the technological and cultural upheavals of the next decade.Bernie's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernieyoungblood/Hotlogic® Website: https://www.https://hotlogic.com/Drawing from his deep experience in corporate culture and health, Bernie explains how leaders must move beyond cogs and KPIs to focus on the unique "gifts" each employee brings to the table. We discuss why the era of the cutthroat CEO is sunsetting and why the most successful future leaders will be those who lead with radical transparency, kindness, and human connection.🔹 Key Topics Covered: ✔️ The Disruption of Work: Why the pace of business and social media are creating a "disintegration of society" and employee disengagement. ✔️ Human Systems vs. Machines: Challenging the "spreadsheet management" model and why one plus one should equal "amazing," not two. ✔️ Creative Destruction: A 10-year outlook on why companies and industries will disappear virtually overnight due to AI. ✔️ AI as an Amplifier: How to leverage AI to outtask the mundane and amplify your unique human innovation and creativity. ✔️ Recruiting & Retaining Talent: Why the best and brightest will no longer work for "asshole CEOs" and how to build environments where gifts thrive. ✔️ Practical Leadership Advice: The power of asking "How am I doing for you?" and the survival mantra: “Get uncomfortable, stay uncomfortable.”This episode is essential for executives, HR professionals, and emerging leaders who want to understand the intersection of technology, faith, and humanity in the future of work.Leadership isn't about pulling levers—it's about the intentional creation of environments where human potential can be multiplied.Hope this video added a little sparkle to your day!
