Why Leadership Is Harder Now

Most leaders are unprepared for this new environment

AI handles large portions of your job now, including analyzing data, automating workflows, and drafting reports. The technical parts of leadership are being automated. What remains is the human work, and most leaders were never trained for it.

75% of HR leaders say managers' responsibilities are outpacing their development, and 69% believe leaders are ill-equipped to lead change.

What leaders say after coaching

“I had the great pleasure of working with Coop last year. He’s a true master of human communication. His easy-going style and techniques make it easy to discuss and unravel complicated situations. Coop is great at advising through political situations and helping you “lean in” to push forward. ”
