Check out my new book AI Augmented Teams on Amazon or on my website paidar.ai/books. What happens when AI gets smarter, but people get more overwhelmed? Host Dr. Darren sits down with resilience expert Anne Grady to explore emotional regulation, psychological safety, and why adaptability is becoming one of the most important leadership skills in digital transformation and the modern workplace. ## Key Takeaways - **Resilience is more than “bouncing back.”** True growth means learning how to move forward when life and work go sideways. - **Emotional regulation is a core leadership skill.** Leaders who can stay grounded help teams think clearly, communicate better, and respond to change. - **AI amplifies what already exists.** In strong teams, AI can boost productivity; in unhealthy teams, it can magnify fear, poor communication, and burnout. - **Psychological safety drives performance.** People do their best work when it feels safe to speak up, make mistakes, and disagree constructively. - **Conflict is healthy; combat is not.** Leaders should teach teams how to disagree on ideas without attacking people.
