Building Leadership Capability in the AI Age with Dave Ulrich

Episode notes

Artificial intelligence can accelerate output, but sustainable performance depends on whether human and organizational capability can keep pace. In this milestone episode of The Good Leadership Podcast , Charles Good speaks with renowned leadership and HR thinker Dr. Dave Ulrich about turning individual talent into organizational capability that creates value for customers, investors, employees, and communities. Dr. Ulrich explains the difference between competence - what an individual knows, does, and embodies - and capability - what an organization consistently does well. He explores how leaders can combine AI with the distinctly human strengths of vision, innovation, emotion, and wisdom while protecting judgment, honest feedback, human connection, and the future leadership pipeline. The conversation also examines the danger of mistaking increased activity for stronger capability, why leaders must become better observers of themselves and others, and how careers and leadership brands must evolve in an AI-driven world.
