As AI becomes embedded in everyday work, leaders are navigating real tension as technology accelerates decisions, reshapes communication, and raises expectations for efficiency, but employees are asking for more clarity, trust, and connection, not less.  In this candid, insight-rich conversation, Chrissy Roth-Francis, Ed.D., Director of Talent Development at LinkedIn, shares what human-centered leadership actually looks like in practice right now, based on what she’s seeing inside one of the world’s most influential technology organizations.  Drawing on her experience developing leaders at scale, Chrissy explores how leadership expectations are changing, where well-intentioned leaders often struggle, and how AI can either strengthen or quietly undermine engagement depending on how it’s used.

This “inside” conversation goes beyond theory to offer practical guidance leaders can apply immediately.  Chrissy will share her thoughts and insights on the “dual mandate” leaders face as they adopt new technologies while preserving human connection, the leadership behaviors that matter most in moments of uncertainty, and the small, intentional actions managers can take to build trust with teams navigating rapid change.  Chrissy will also share her perspective on what should never be automated, the skills leaders must master now to stay effective, and what the “Human Plus” future of leadership truly demands.

Attendees will leave with clearer language, sharper insight, and grounded advice for leading people with intention in an AI-driven world

You will learn:

  • How leaders can balance the dual mandate of adopting AI while strengthening human connection and trust
  • Practical, human-centered actions managers can take now to support teams navigating rapid change
  • The leadership capabilities HR must develop today to prepare for a Human Plus future

This is just a preview of the ideas Chrissy will expand on as a featured presenter at the Leadership Series at SPARK HR 2026, April 28-30 in St. Pete Beach, FL.
