Zug Tech Circle - Future of Leadership
Are you a board member, an executive, an entrepreneur or a change leader who wants to understand what leadership actually looks like when AI handles reporting, automates workflows, and reshapes who you hire — and why?
In this event organized by Zug Tech Circle, a community where change makers meet, we'll explore:
→ How AI democratization is changing the day-to-day of leadership
→ Why traditional hiring interviews are becoming obsolete — and what replaces them
→ How to rethink your team structure when a tool replaces a team of 10–20
→ What the future job market looks like for leaders operating in Swiss markets
→ Lessons from Davos, US tech, and the trenches of fast-moving AI companies
→ How leaders brings both human and AI Agents together in the organizations for strategy, governance and decision making
→ How to lead a team in a world where AI is rewriting the rules - faster than most companies can adapt
→ What is the role of leaders in the future when AI is replacing entry level roles as well as mid senior roles?
