Scaling Performance

At The Speed of Change

The New Leadership DNA

Organizations have moved away from an extraction model of productivity that focuses on maximizing output from employees to a performance model that unlocks human potential. In that transition, the CHRO’s role has become more vital than ever.

In this thought leadership series featuring the world’s leading CHROs, performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais explores how visionary leaders are pioneering innovative approaches to help individuals and teams realize their full capabilities amidst the sweeping transformations reshaping today’s workforce. From the shift to hybrid work to the integration of emerging technologies—including AI, these discussions highlight the modern leadership capabilities that will be necessary to thrive in the modern workplace. Gervais also examines the challenges CHROs face in adopting new strategies and embedding them into the DNA of individuals, teams, and cultures.

The series provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving landscape of modern leadership. It offers practical advice and forward-thinking perspectives for leaders at all levels, aiming to inspire and equip them to foster environments where both people and organizations can excel.
