  Leading the Future of Work: Chip Linehan on Building Opportunity Through Education

  Aug 7, 202644 minS2

  How can we prepare the next generation for a future that's changing faster than ever before? On this episode of D oing Good by Doing Better , host Margaret Rogers sits down with Chip Linehan, co-founder and co-CEO of Building 21, to unpack why preparing the next generation for the future of work requires moving past rigid academic checkboxes to focus on student agency and durable skills. Chip shares a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership, recounting how his team completely pivoted their technical training program, Launchpad, following the market release of ChatGPT. He highlights why successful innovation demands human centric leadership—shifting mindsets from what could go wrong when technology disrupts standard jobs to actively searching for what could go right. Margaret and Chip cover: Building Opportunity Through Innovation: How AI can help educators spend less time on administrative work and more time building meaningful relationships with students. The Power of Durable Skills: Why true career readiness depends on non-academic competencies like cross-functional communication, dependability, and "wayfinding" rather than temporary technical checklists. Evolving the Leadership Mindset: How shifting your executive style from a high-velocity "bull in a china shop" operator to an empowering team coach creates an organizational culture capable of navigating rapid external change. This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the future of work—one where disruptive technology forces us to double down on human potential and build a more equitable framework for tomorrow's workforce. It's a vital reminder that navigating change isn't just about adopting new tools; it's about anchoring your entire business strategy in human capability every step of the way.

Margaret and Alan cover: Building AI-Ready Organizations : How leaders can prepare their workforce to confidently embrace AI while staying grounded in purpose. People-Powered Innovation : Why many AI challenges are really opportunities to strengthen leadership, collaboration, and organizational design. Responsible AI Leadership : How human judgment and thoughtful governance help organizations unlock AI's full potential. This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on AI — one where technology amplifies human creativity, strengthens organizations, and empowers people to solve bigger problems together. It's a reminder that the future of AI isn't just about adopting new technology; it's about leading with purpose every step of the way.
