Human-Centered Leadership in the Age of AI

As AI continues to automate transactional tasks and provide rapid-fire answers, the role of the leader is undergoing a fundamental shift. While machines provide data, human leaders must provide meaning. This session, serving as a launch for the new book The Leader’s PRICE: Human-Centered Leadership in the Age of AI, explores how to leverage human qualities—Purpose, Recognition, Inspiration, Compassion, and Education—as the ultimate competitive advantages. Carlos Vasquez will guide attendees through the PRICE framework, demonstrating how to lead organizations with clarity and humanity when technology is moving faster than any playbook. Audience Takeaways: Mastery of the PRICE Framework™: A concrete toolkit to audit and lead teams through the five pillars of human-centric success: Purpose, Recognition, Inspiration, Compassion, and Education.
