AI is making productivity obsolete. The leaders who thrive next will have something machines can’t touch

• →AI is dismantling the traditional logic that professional worth is defined by output and productivity.
• →Leaders must adapt to a paradigm where human value comes from capabilities machines cannot replicate.
• →The shift requires a fundamental reckoning with what unique purpose humans serve in the workplace.
• →Future successful leaders will need to identify and develop skills that remain exclusively human.
• →The transformation challenges generations of established professional value systems.
