You have never once been promoted on who you actually are. You were promoted on who the people above you believed you were. That gap, the distance between the truth about you and the story told about you, is the real ceiling. And closing it, for your people and for yourself, is the actual work of leadership.
You make decisions about people every week. Who to trust with more. Who is ready and who only looks ready. Who is quietly struggling. How often is that read is gut versus data? And when you use data how accurate is your interpretation of how-to information into actionable steps? The leaders who rise are not the ones with the sharpest tools. They are the ones who can understand, predict and confidently know the qualities and skills of the people on their team and who know how to make their own value impossible to misread.
AI was supposed to make this easier. Instead, it hands everyone a more confident version of the wrong read. In this session, Rico Peña shows you how to balance technology and human insight accurately, lead them with that clarity, and in doing so you become impossible to overlook.
If you lead people, you will leave seeing your next decision, and your own value, differently. Come ready to be challenged.
