The Truth About Talent, AI, and Why Some Leaders Get It Wrong with RRA Chief Science Officer Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Would you say that there's one perspective you have that actually would allow you to be more effective across all these geographies or does it depend on where you are in the world and the culture you're operating in?

I'm going to take that quote with me, where your right to be yourself ends and your commitment to others begins.

Redefiners

That is gold dust in my view.

Let's shift gears a little bit.

We hosted a dinner, Tomas, in London last week on AI for a group of CEOs, and it was really interesting.

One of the CEOs leads a business called Wingstop, which has become super popular over here.

I'm sure you both know it in the US.

And he's under pressure to develop kiosks, and he is refusing because he's finding that his workforce gains so much, even within six months of actually engaging with customers in a restaurant setting.

And he really believes in that as a mission of the organisation.

So he's not going to move to kiosks in any form of delivery.

And could you maybe tell us, talk a little bit about entry-level jobs?

Redefiners
The Truth About Talent, AI, and Why Some Leaders Get It Wrong with RRA Chief Science Officer Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Redefiners
The Truth About Talent, AI, and Why Some Leaders Get It Wrong with RRA Chief Science Officer Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

Can you just tell us a bit about how you think leaders can use this negative thinking as a positive force?
