The ideas shaping leadership this past month

The ideas shaping leadership this past month

May was shaped by a familiar set of pressures—accelerating AI change, rising expectations for leaders, and the need to make better decisions with less certainty.

At HBR Executive, we’ve been focused on helping senior leaders make sense of the moment—and what to do next. When you subscribe, you get direct access to these insights as they’re published.

Here are a few of the themes we’ve been exploring:

 

Leading through complexity and change

Designing Organizational Change That Actually Sticks: A Masterclass on why most transformation efforts fall short—and how to design change that lasts.

“Listen for the Silence”: Insights from a Long-Serving CEO: What leaders miss when they only focus on what’s being said—and how to surface the signals that matter most.

Leading in the age of AI

Leading the Human-AI Organization: A panel discussion from the recent HBR Leadership Summit on how leaders are balancing human judgment and AI capability.

The Strategy Lab (beta): An AI-powered environment designed to help leaders pressure‑test assumptions, explore trade-offs, and clarify high‑stakes decisions.

Building high-performing teams

How to Build a Superteam That Keeps Getting Better: From the May-June issue of Harvard Business Review, practical guidance on creating teams that continuously improve rather than peak and plateau.

These are just a selection of the resources and conversations available to HBR Executive subscribers—all designed to help you move from insight to action.

And with HBR Executive, you also get full access to the broader HBR experience, including the complete HBR.org archive, Harvard Business School case studies, and six print issues of Harvard Business Review each year.

 Catch up on what you missed—and stay ahead of what’s next.
