Description
Watch the on-demand webinar: Closing the Leadership Capacity Gap – Why AI & Complexity Are Outpacing Leaders, And What to Do About It
In this session, Carole Gaskell, Kate Woodward and Jo McCarthy are joined by Valarie Williams-Foy from Imperial College London to explore why many leadership challenges are no longer simply about skills or capability, but about capacity under pressure.
As AI, complexity and constant change increase the demands placed on leaders, organisations need to understand what leaders can realistically hold, navigate and sustain.
The session explores the hidden risks of the leadership capacity gap, from slower decisions and reduced alignment to overload, reactivity and stalled execution. It also shares how Imperial College London is approaching leadership development as a shift in mindset, not just content delivery.
