In thinking about social justice, the philosopher John Rawls proposed a thought experiment known as the Veil of Ignorance. What kind of society would you design if you didnt know what position youd occupy in itrich or poor, Black, white, or brown, gay, straight, or trans? While Rawls was focused on justice, not innovation, the Veil of Ignorance offers a useful model for thinking about how access and influence are structured within organizations.

Innovation used to be something companies scheduledan offsite, a brainstorm, a quarterly initiative. Now, its something that has to be built into the way people think, work, and make decisions every day. That shift has created a new kind of pressure: not just to have great ideas, but to make sure your workforce is ready to act on them. Because without strong innovation skills, even the most ambitious strategies stall before they start.

Todays managers have to guide both human professionals and AI systems. As far back as records of the subject go, the art and science of leadership has always addressed one constant question: How should humans lead other humans? Today, that paradigm is shifting. Leaders must now learn to guide hybrid teams composed of both human professionals and AI systems that support and augment human team members, while increasingly also performing complex tasks independently.
