Arie’s AI Co-Leadership Dilemma

What if your next career move meant sharing leadership with artificial intelligence?

Arie Iyana’s future at InnovElectronics hangs in the balance. Just eight months into her first managerial role, she’s invited to co-lead her team with an experimental AI "Chief of Staff." The AI promises to streamline her workload, provide insights, and even coach her through team dynamics. But will it make her a stronger leader, or will it undermine her authority and decision-making?

If she accepts, Arie will gain a larger team, a more prestigious project, and the attention of company leadership. But she also risks losing control, alienating her team, and becoming dependent on a technology whose long-term impact is uncertain. Rejecting the offer might protect her leadership style—but will it make her seem resistant to innovation?

Should Arie embrace the future of leadership, or will relying on AI cost her the very skills that make her a great leader?

We look forward to seeing you online.
