Episode notes
Guest: James Taylor, Supercreativity author In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with global creativity and innovation expert James Taylor to explore one of the defining leadership questions of our time: As AI automates more routine work, what becomes uniquely human — and uniquely valuable? James introduces the concept of “super creativity”: the amplification of human creativity through collaboration with both people and intelligent machines. Together, Maureen and James unpack why creativity, curiosity, imagination, and psychological safety are rapidly becoming core executive capabilities in the AI era. They explore: The rise of one-person billion-dollar companies The hidden cultural barriers quietly derailing AI adoption Why organizational values may become the most important AI governance framework, and Why the future belongs to leaders who amplify human potential rather than simply automate labor. This conversation is especially relevant for CEOs, boards, senior executives, innovation leaders, and anyone navigating the intersection of leadership, technology, and organizational transformation.
