The Future Of Less Work · 2026-07-28 · 33 min
What Becomes More Human as AI Takes Over Work? Why do people perform differently when they feel seen, heard, and connected at work? In this episode of The Future of Less Work , host Nirit Cohen sits down with Randy Lyman, physicist, entrepreneur, executive coach, and author of The Third Element , to explore why emotional awareness may become one of the most important leadership capabilities in the age of AI. Together, they discuss how leaders can develop emotional awareness even when it does not come naturally, and why leadership itself may become the most valuable human capability as more work is shared with non-human intelligence. Randy explains how listening, slowing down, asking better questions, and paying attention to emotional and physical cues can help leaders build trust and strengthen human connection, even across remote and digital workplaces.
