The working world needs more humanity, kindness and opportunity for real people to do their best work. All of this potential is already there. We help clients to see it and unlock it.
As amazing as AI is, it will never replace human capacity for great compassion. But when used with intention, AI can help you listen more deeply, recognize unspoken needs, and create more meaningful connections with your teams. Dive into our latest HBR article exploring how AI can strengthen compassionate leadership.
Leadership in the AI era isn’t about technology—it’s about the leader. AI offers incredible promises like unprecedented insights and personalized support, but also poses risks like cognitive laziness and bias amplification. To harness AI’s potential and avoid its pitfalls, leaders must double down on human-centered leadership, mastering awareness, wisdom, and compassion. Read our latest Human Leader Report.
As great as AI can be, it cannot make us better leaders. For leaders to rely only on AI, without doing the inner work of human development, would be like buying a top-of-the-line Ferrari while ignoring our driving skills. To get the best from AI, we need to equally invest in the development of our human potential. Alone, neither is sufficient. Both are necessary. Check out our latest HBR article here.
When we talk about leadership, the perception is that it's off to the side, separate from the results. We have to manage people and lead them, but we don't always marry those two things together. The data shows that if you can balance doing hard things in a human way, retention goes up, and performance improves. I realized that this was the direction we needed to take. Compassion is not merely about being nice. It's not about being soft as a leader.
We all know that we need to deliver results, but we’re learning that there is a way to balance individual needs with performance and handling the balance in a humane way.
We work with organizations and leaders who are looking for new ways to work, lead and make an impact, who know that the complex world in which we live demands different ways of thinking, acting, and being with each other.
At Potential Project, we are on a mission to make work feel more human. In this new world of work, people are focused, calm and resilient, even happy at work. There is time for connection and compassion for one another, even on the busiest days. This new world begins inside, in the mind.
Potential Project is a global research and leadership development firm that partners with organizations to uncover the power of the mind – how it is wired and how to rewire it for new behaviors and different outcomes.
With companies around the world and across industries, Potential Project helps individuals, leaders and teams unlock powerful and positive changes. We do this by helping them to turn inside and realize that all they are seeking and all that they need is already there inside. The potential for change, the potential for happiness, the potential for great leadership…it’s all there waiting.
It’s time for a change – change that lasts because it starts inside. Let’s get going.
