Executive coach Maren Perry (Founder & CEO, Arden Coaching) explains why command-and-control is obsolete, why servant leadership needs an upgrade, and how leaders can structure orgs that include both human and AI \u201cemployees.\u201d We cover decision-making with algorithms at the table, prompt engineering as a core competency, ethical use of data, and preventing digital burnout. If you\u2019re a CEO, CHRO, or startup founder, this is a direct, practical playbook for building trust, culture, and competitive advantage in an AI-augmented business.\n\u00a0\nAbout the guest:\nMaren Perry is the Founder & CEO of Arden Coaching, a leadership development firm trusted by brands like Kaiser Permanente, Mars Wrigley, ZipRecruiter, and JLL. Known for a refreshingly direct approach, Maren helps senior leaders develop measurable behavioral change, strong cultures, and high-performing teams in fast-changing, AI-enabled environments.\n\u00a0\nKey takeaways:\n\n\nAI is a paradigm shift; stop \u201cmaking old playbooks smarter\u201d and redesign how work gets done across humans and AI.\n\n\nCommand-and-control is outdated; servant leadership must adapt to teams interacting with AI systems daily.\n\n\nTreat AI as a partner for questions and analysis\u2014leaders own discernment, judgment, and innovation.\n\n\nOver-reliance on LLM outputs yields \u201cmost common\u201d answers; humans must drive creative, non-obvious solutions.\n\n\nPrompt engineering is a leadership skill; companies should train teams and create internal standards.\n\n\nBuild orgs for two employee types: human contributors and AI agents; rethink structure, culture, and engagement.\n\n\nProtect people from digital burnout; prioritize psychological safety, recognition, and human connection.\n\n\nEthics matter: data sources, privacy, model feedback loops, and attribution policies need clear governance.\n\n\nCutting entry-level roles via AI creates a talent pipeline gap; plan intentional pathways to mid-level leadership.\n\n\nFuture-ready leadership = emotional intelligence + ethics + creativity + analytical partnership with AI.\n\n\n\u00a0\nHow to connect with the guest\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nWebsite: ardencoaching.com\n\n\nLinkedIn: Arden Coaching\n\n\nOffer: Mention \u201cAIBiz Podcast\u201d via the site\u2019s contact form for a complimentary assessment.\n\n\n\u00a0\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
