Harvard Leadership Expert: AI and The ESSENTIAL Skills Catholics Need

In our season premiere, Edmund sits down with Letti Garcia, Director of the Leadership Initiative at Harvard Business School, to ask a big question: what does faithful, effective leadership look like in the age of AI? Letti shares a practical, hope-filled path—rooted in Ignatian discernment and the “be–know–do” model—for leaders who feel both curious and cautious. They discuss technical vs. adaptive challenges (Heifetz/Kegan/Lahey), the power of contextual intelligence (reading the times), how to avoid the Dunning–Kruger trap with feedback and small experiments, and why the Church needs real learning strategies—not just one-off trainings. The takeaway: do not be afraid, become a learning leader, and build communities of practice so we can discern and deploy AI together.Learn more and access free resources at faithandaiproject.com.
