Summary
Logan Yonavjak (founderready.io [https://founderready.io/]), Co-Founder and CEO of Founder Readiness Institute, joins host Dan Freehling (contempusleadership.com [https://www.contempusleadership.com/]) to discuss how AI-powered assessment is giving investors, enterprises, and leaders a new window into leadership capacity. Logan explains the concept of vertical development and why it is the theoretical underpinning of Founder Readiness Institute's work (00:08:35), addresses concerns about AI bias and shares how it can counter traditional human biases, and discusses what she learned from taking her own assessment (00:29:17). Logan makes the case for coachability as the most essential leadership construct (00:27:08) and explains why human leaders in an AI-augmented world will need to hold increasingly more complexity (00:32:42).
