As AI transforms how we work, lead, and make decisions, what does this mean for the role of leadership itself? On this episode of The Workplace, we speak with Sanjay Sarma, CEO of the Asia School of Business, about the evolving demands on leaders in an increasingly algorithmic world.



We explore the tension between data-driven decisions and human intuition, the growing need for non-technical skills like critical thinking and ethics, and whether AI could dilute a company’s identity or serve as a scapegoat for tough calls. Sanjay also shares his thoughts on Malaysia’s AI roadmap, the risk of leaving SMEs behind, and what a truly AI-integrated, human-centric organisation might look like a decade from now.
