Standout Quotes:



1. “We still need to leave those spaces where we actually ask, how are you doing, to be sure the parts of their lives that are important are going well. Because those parts actually influence what they do on the job.” - Dr. Sam Adeyemi


2. “It’s like when computers first came. They made things work faster. When I was doing mathematics in high school, we used to use log tables and things like that. It was much slower getting to work through the calculations. But with calculators these days and so on, it’s faster. AI is going to create an even bigger shift than that. The computers did not take all the jobs away. However, they changed the way that we do our work. So we humans, therefore, need to move more towards creativity, and that is tied more to our uniqueness, the unique way our minds work.” - Dr. Sam Adeyemi


3. “A lot of C-suite leaders find it difficult to reinvent, and it’s one of the major reasons why people get stranded, why leaders just stagnate. Change is inevitable. It happens, the world doesn’t remain the same. The conditions that facilitated our achievement of success, those conditions have changed. The context has changed. So for us to sustain our success, for us to remain relevant, for example, we also have just got to change.” Dr. Sam Adeyemi
