The expectations placed on team leaders have changed beyond recognition with the adoption of AI. 

The Room: Human-AI Leadership Circle is an experiential learning space set to explore the transformation of authority, identity and decision-making in Human-AI teams and organisations.

AI promises to eliminate tedious, repetitive work, to provide definitive answers and become the perfect advisor, coach and therapist. The hidden impact and anxiety is that we will be exposed to our humanness, with the prominent fear of being replaceable, not needed, in the face of the impossible pace of change.

Information about AI is everywhere, but what’s missing is the exploration of what it means for team leaders and managers dealing with system overwhelm and dysfunctional team dynamics, meanwhile navigating complex, urgent change in their organisations.

Team leaders have a critical voice in organisations to promote efficiency and performance, yet are often left holding organisational fears, hopes and desires with little capacity to juggle them all during the fastest paced change of our times. 

You are invited to join this high-trust circle to explore and develop the roles we have been given and take up. 

Who is it for?

Participants come from a variety of backgrounds:

• Team leaders navigating the past, present and future impacts of AI for themselves and their teams;
• Functional leaders exploring new structures and ways of working;
• Internal or external coaches and OD consultants who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their practice supporting their clients.

What connects participants is not seniority or sector, but a serious interest in understanding what is shifting and a willingness to engage with it thoughtfully. 

Programme number is capped at 10 participants.

The value of The Room

Exploring your lived experience and relationship with AI is stimulated by rich ideas, models, theories and opportunities for live group coaching. 

Through structured dialogue and shared inquiry, the programme surfaces the concerns, tensions, and possibilities that shape how participants relate to AI in their work, much of which remains unexamined in most professional settings. 

The programme creates space for honest conversation about what AI is really doing to how we work, what we fear about it, and where the genuine opportunities are. Things most people are thinking about but rarely get to say out loud.

Participants are encouraged to share examples from their own context, drawing connections between theory, lived experience and the challenges they encounter in practice.

Outline of the Programme

The programme will consist of models and frameworks aimed at grounding participants in complexity and systems theory, group dynamics, theories of identity and authority. You will also have opportunity to explore your own context and learn about others.

Topics and aspects of the programme will include:

• Human-AI systems, AI agents and relationships;

• Professional roles, identity and power;

• Unconscious dynamics in human-AI teams;

• System performance, change and human agency;
• Expertise, decision-making and authority.

Format and Venue

In five sessions, over five weeks, we will co-create a learning environment that will combine theory, discussion and opportunities for live group coaching.

This programme is delivered online or in person at our office at 50 Featherstone Street.
