Your hard-earned leadership skills may not be enough
When I sat down with Thomas Hansen — President of Amplitude, and former executive at Microsoft and Dropbox — I knew this conversation would change the way I think about leadership.
Thomas has led billion-dollar teams, navigated career reinventions, and even learned leadership lessons on a windsurfing board.
In this episode, he opens up about the next leadership superpower every leader needs to survive — and thrive — in today’s AI-driven world.
You'll discover:
- Why the “career ladder” is gone for good.
- The daily habit he uses to stay ahead with his team.
- How AI is shifting what makes a great leader.
- Why the best CEOs embrace what they don’t know.
- What windsurfing taught him about business risk and resilience.
This isn’t theory — it’s real, hard-won insight from the front lines of leadership.
If you’re a CEO, President, Founder, or rising leader, these are the strategies that will keep you in the game when everything around you is changing.
