L.E.A.D.ership in the age of ai

AI is no longer on the horizon. It is already transforming how we work, make decisions, and deliver value. While many organizations are still debating their AI approach, teams across functions are already experimenting. The real risk is not AI itself, but the absence of leadership to guide it. In this energizing and actionable keynote, Tami Reiss shares how today’s leaders can step up with confidence using her proven L.E.A.D. framework to create alignment, reduce uncertainty, and accelerate results.

This session is not about becoming an AI expert. It is about providing clarity, setting direction, and translating experiments into business impact. The companies that win will not be the ones with the most AI tools, but the ones with leaders who make smart, timely decisions and inspire action while others hesitate.
Because if you’re waiting to feel ready, you’re already behind.

Key Takeaways:

Look and Leap: Craft a compelling “Where To” vision that incorporates AI in a way that motivates rather than overwhelms. Set direction early so scattered experimentation becomes coordinated progress.
Empower and Excite: Help your teams view AI as a tool for growth, not a threat. Define clear boundaries that encourage innovation and provide safety to explore.
Align and Activate: Build trust and alignment across departments by connecting AI initiatives to business outcomes. Translate experimentation into strategy your board and teams can rally behind.
Decide and Deputize: Make smart, timely decisions and scale your leadership by sharing ownership. Balance human judgment with machine intelligence to drive results with clarity and confidence.
great for leaders who must balance innovation with risk, and are navigating AI-driven change.
