Empathy has become a crucial competency for leaders post-COVID. 95% of AI pilots fail due to lack of insight and connection to business needs. Leaders must integrate technology into their decision-making processes. Inspiration is key to managing change and addressing team fears. Integrity involves understanding the ethical implications of AI usage. Measuring impact is essential for assessing the success of AI initiatives. Leaders should create a culture of experimentation and support. The fear of becoming obsolete (phobo) affects both leaders and teams. The five competencies are not new but need to be reframed for today's challenges.   Keywords leadership, modern leadership, human competencies, AI, coaching, change management, integrity, impact, technology integration, inspiration
