In this episode of Executive Edge, host Simon Rycraft sits down with Dr. Jill Goldenziel—CEO of Goldenziel Strategy, international law scholar, and advisor on leadership and geopolitical risk—to unpack what AI means for leaders today. From the dazzling potential of artificial intelligence to the growing complexity of disinformation, Jill explores why the future of leadership depends on doubling down on distinctly human skills: trust, ethics, creativity, and critical thinking. She shares lessons from her work with the U.S. military and global policymakers, explains how scenario planning can help executives navigate emerging risks, and offers a pragmatic view of AI’s role—not as a replacement for people, but as a teammate that demands careful supervision. If you’ve ever wondered how to lead effectively in an era of exponential technological change, this conversation is a must-listen.
