Supermanagers and Superworkers: Building Leadership for the AI Era

22 Oct 2026
HR Reimagined: The Josh Bersin Company Executive Series
Managers are the leverage point for AI adoption, performance, engagement, and change, but they are also overwhelmed and often under-supported.

This session explores what it takes to build super-managers, AI-powered, human-centered people leaders who are the backbone of super-worker organizations. Learn how these leaders build trust, foster experimentation, and leverage AI to strengthen their leadership capabilities, and what you, as HR, can do to empower them.

Takeaways:
• The manager leverage point: Why managers sit at the center of AI transformation and workforce performance
• Super-manager behaviors: What differentiates strong managers of the past from high-impact, AI-ready leaders
• Human-centered AI: How AI can augment—rather than take away from—human-centric coaching, performance management, and decision-making
• HR’s role: How HR can enable leaders with systems, tools, and support, while freeing up capacity for managers to thrive
