The Threshold: Thought Provoking & Practical

The impact of Artificial Intelligence cannot be ignored by Leaders. This book explores the leadership capabilities that are required to lead in the age of AI;  the key premise is that our leadership thinking is not deficient, it is the extent to which this connects to our ‘being’ that is the issue. Connecting thinking with feelings, emotions and values requires a high degree of self-awareness and personal curiosity.

This book invites the reader to explore questions that provoke us to consider a more connected approach to leadership around AI. We are introduced to four pathways that help us to do this; chapters are laid out in a way that are easy to use, with plenty of practical resources for leaders to access for their own development and that of their teams. A highly recommended read.

With huge thanks to Jane Senior for sharing her thoughts with me.

An opinion piece: CityAM

Thrilled to share my op-ed in @CityAM about Chat GPT, the new AI chatbot. In the piece, I examine how we can ensure AI tools are used to make our lives better. I also share one of the four pathways from my upcoming book, The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI, that can lead to the kinds of insights leaders need to ensure they’re adopting AI tools responsibly.

The future of being a Leader in an AI world

The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI

Old models of leadership are becoming obsolete. They leave AI-Era organizations exposed and ineffective with colleagues frustrated, unmotivated, and burnt-out. As a result of this I wrote a book: The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI.  I plan to blog a little around the launch.

The Threshold by Nick Chatrath

 

With developments emerging every day, Artificial Intelligence will soon surpass most human competencies, and as a result drastically transform technology’s role in our day-to-day world. The solution for organizational leaders is not to become more like computers. For our organizations to survive as we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must tap into our humanity.  The Threshold illuminates how accessing advanced stages of human development can be both competitive and harmonious with AI’s growing insinuation into our working world.

Even a casual glance at the news will inform us that all is not well with the world. It’s tempting to join the ranks of those who bemoan the woes of our day without lifting a finger to contribute to redeeming the culture around us. But I know that you have a greater sense of purpose and it’s my desire to help you rise to the challenge – and it begins with the man (or woman) in the mirror.

3 ways to make the most of good news

I am writing this blog post with a smile on my face, because I just received the news that I have been accredited by the Association for Coaching at the highest level, Master Executive Coach. This required 1500 hours of logged coaching practice, recording my coaching for evaluation, and a 1.5 year process of preparing my portfolio (which ran to 100 pages).

This marks the end of an even longer journey for me. In 2003 when I started my own coaching practice, I considered pursuing an accreditation, but never followed through. Clients weren’t demanding it, and I hadn’t yet realised the centrality of supervision and a reflective approach to great coaching. It took Oxford University’s Said Business School, where I am a member of the coaching community, to prompt me to apply for accreditation. I’m so glad they did, because – as I tell my supervisor Jean Dowson – the process of reflection and supervision has improved my coaching practice significantly.

I’m sure you are happy for me, but why am I telling you this?

Why I will now blog only once a week

Since January 2016 I have been blogging twice a week. However, from next Monday I will blog only once a week. Why?

It would be understandable if your immediate thoughts were ‘It’s too much work for Nick’ or ‘The blogs aren’t working’. It does take a lot to generate a good blog post, but effort isn’t the primary reason why I’m decreasing the frequency. And from the user feedback I’m receiving, many are finding these posts useful. The real reason is the need to focus as my team and I are about to launch a new on-line business called Coachify.

Amongst other things, I currently coach some high performance individuals around the world to transform their productivity by using their personal data and wearable technology (e.g. Fitbit). Just as any large company uses data to improve their performance, Coachify can help a person improve their individual performance using wearables and our unique data analysing platform.

One of my most important values is excellence. I am determined to be the best and continuously try to improve my thinking, work, self and service to my clients. I am applying that here to Coachify and giving it the extra time it needs to launch well. I do not want the quality of blog posts to diminish as a result, hence the reduction in quantity.

So please keep reading, keep commenting, and keep using the insights to increase your productivity, performance and impact. I look forward to our continued journey together.
