Balancing Innovation, Ethics, and Human Connection in a Tech-Driven World
Leading teams in the AI era is no longer optional — it’s a core leadership skill. In this timely interview, Bärbel Wetenkamp, CEO of Claruna, shares practical strategies for leading diverse teams amid rapid AI adoption. Hosted by Marc Hammoud of The Swiss Quality, and with additional insight from Leon Palafox, Director of Innovation Lab at Novartis, this conversation offers leaders real tools for guiding their teams through uncertainty, innovation, and ethical decision-making.
Key Highlights
- Balance Adoption with Critical Thinking: AI is a powerful tool, but leaders must ensure their teams don’t become over-reliant or disengaged from innovation.
- Foster Safe Spaces: Encourage discovery, collaboration, and honest conversations about using AI — especially among mixed-experience teams.
- Emphasize Human Values: Empathy, ethics, and decision-making are irreplaceable — no matter how advanced the technology becomes.
- Promote Intergenerational Dialogue: AI is evolving fast. Leaders must create inclusive environments where people of different ages and skill levels can learn from each other.
