A lot of leaders build their careers on being the expert in the room. What happens when that stops working?David Wheatley talks with Nikki Patterson about why, as AI makes information available to everyone instantly, the leaders who succeed won't be the ones who know the most.

They get into what Nikki calls the silence tax, the cost organizations pay when people can see a problem coming and don't feel safe enough to say so, Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety, and what it actually takes to shift your own identity from expert to expert learner.Humanergy has spent over two decades helping leaders build stronger teams and better conversations.
