As leadership environments become increasingly shaped by technological disruption, shifting workforce expectations, and growing complexity, leaders are navigating tensions that rarely have simple answers.
In our AOM 2026 Professional Development Workshop—
Future-Ready Leadership: Resilient, Adaptive Leaders for Complex Environments
—we will explore several leadership tensions emerging in AI-shaped and rapidly changing environments.
Co-facilitated by Dr. Alice Nelson-Sidibe—leadership educator, executive coach, and researcher focused on emotional intelligence, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness—and Will Baas, EdD—portfolio careerist, former senior military officer, HR executive, and leadership strategist with deep experience in talent strategy and organizational transformation.
Three questions we are especially interested in discussing with participants:
🔹 How do leaders remain emotionally grounded while navigating increasing pressure and pace?
As technology accelerates expectations, resilience becomes more than endurance—it becomes a leadership capability.
🔹 What should leaders allow data or AI to inform—but never fully decide?
Adaptive leadership increasingly requires balancing analytical insight with human judgment, ethics, and context.
🔹 How do leaders continue learning fast enough to remain effective without becoming overwhelmed?
Lifelong learning is no longer optional—but what actually makes learning sustainable?
This PDW is designed as a highly interactive session grounded in reflection, peer dialogue, scenario analysis, and practical application.
We hope you’ll join the conversation in Philadelphia.
