Podcast with Damien Part 4:Damien shared with us that most managers should look at developing their people in AI and managing the change of AI but they don’t. That’s because most managers are terrible managers. As such, Andrew proposed that companies need to do a bit of mixed sourcing of different talents in different arrangements to enable digital transformation. One of the key skills or traits in a manager whether in-house or introduced is the fire to light up the organization: ignite that passion and fan it persistently. This is different from getting burnout from unrealistic expectations of getting fast success. Damien shared that some leaders want to be seen as the agent of change while others want more bonuses. These 2 sets of motivation can propel unrealistic expectations of achieving success. He was akin that to a Billboard story in which the marketing executives invest marketing dollars on billboards so that their C-suite executives can see them, thinking that they have done their job. Damien shares 6 resources that he goes to and his common apps are WhatsApp, teams, and slack. His 3 career tips are to get acquired knowledge be it learning a master's degree or learning by doing a side project, follow up with thought leaders and keep networking. Show outline:Section 1: About the showSection 2: About the guestSection 3: Guest telling his storySection 4: Talent Sourcing for AISection 5: Talent management for AI transformationSection 6: Fire: underneath or belly upSection 7: ExpectationSection 8: BillboardSection 9: BooksSection 10: AppsSection 11: Career tip 1Section 12: Career tip 2Section 13: Career tip 3 SUMMARY KEYWORDSpeople, digital, digital transformation, ai, managers, hire, problem, startup, leaders, McKinsey, organization, Damien, nus, podcast, LinkedIn, big, retrenchment, job, company, knowledgeShow notes: https://www.andrewliewweida.com/blog/damien-cummings-on-talent-management-and-career-tips Hosted on Acast.
