Is AI quietly reshaping who holds power in your organisation? 👀

We sat down with Professor Nathanael Fast from USC's Marshall School of Business after his appearance at our Power, Status and Influence Conference, and what he had to say about AI and workplace power dynamics is worth a read.

From entry-level roles being replaced by large language models, to senior leaders feeling the pressure of a technology moving faster than they can track, the workforce is changing. Fast.

The good news? Understanding it is already an advantage.

Did you know some of the most powerful leadership insights can come outside the classroom? 💭

Recently, Melbourne Business School’s Asia Office recently hosted an immersive Equine Leadership Experience for senior leaders across banking, healthcare, government and investment sectors.

Using horse-based simulations, participants explored how their leadership presence, communication and behaviour influence trust, collaboration and decision-making under pressure.

A powerful reminder that leadership is not just about what you know, but how you show up.
