EP. 58: Future-Ready Leadership: Balancing Data and Humanity with Dasha Kosse and Janaína Cezanowski

Show notes

How do leaders stay human in an AI-enabled world? In this episode, Janaína Cezanowski speaks with leadership strategist and former global L&D leader Dasha Kosse to explore what “future-ready leadership” really looks like. They unpack how AI can support the development of leaders, why diagnostics should sit at the heart of any leadership programme, and how fractional L&D partnerships help companies build better people systems without heavy internal cost. Dasha also shares practical ways leaders can start using AI today, without losing their own voice or judgement.

**Key takeaways **

- AI should act as a co-pilot, not the driver of leadership decisions.

- Leadership development works best when it starts with diagnostics, not guesswork.

- Understanding personal identity as a leader is non-negotiable before learning new skills.

- AI can uncover performance and behavioural patterns traditional assessments miss.

- Leaders must retain their voice, values and accountability when using AI tools.

- Fractional L&D partnerships give companies scalable, cost-efficient leadership growth.

- Leadership programmes should blend corporate experience, human-centred practice and AI-enabled innovation.
