Welcome to the thirty-first article in the series “Be the Leader You Aspire to Be” here on The Price of Business Show, where I will focus on the trends which lie ahead of us and how they will affect humans and businesses. The articles are based on my book Energetic Leadership, which talks about 9 trends leaders must navigate to cater for employees increasing demand for more spiritual leadership and sustainable business models aligned with their life purposes. These articles are about business leadership in the new era. I hope you will find inspiration for your own leadership and the leader you aspire to be.
The last articles have outlined 9 trends for business leadership and focused on authentic curiosity as a key competency for leaders to master. They have explained the concept of energy frequencies as the source of our true potential, followed by the alignment of the company’s purpose with the life purposes of employees and customers.
They have covered the 6-5 different generations currently working, focused on self-care and the ability to be present and what uncertainty was about and how to navigate in it. They have talked about the importance of intuition in decision-making and what a healthy economy and society are and how we all can improve democracy.
The articles have looked at customer journeys built on healthy energy and how intuition and resilience can improve productivity. They have been about the world as a mirror of how we are doing as multi-dimensional humans, what we do with true AI, how Change Management must change both in terms of timelines and content and the urgent need for a new Leadership Playbook linked to simple strategies which are about people first and foremost based on curiosity, consciousness and freedom and how we get there.
In this article I look at our new relationship with ChatGPT.
In the age of AI, leadership is no longer just about vision and execution, it’s about energy. Your soul fuels purpose, your mind drives strategy, and your body delivers action. When all three align, leaders project confidence, clarity, and vitality. Now, with tools like ChatGPT, there’s an opportunity to extend that alignment into how you think, plan, and lead.
This is the essence of Energetic Leadership in the AI era: using technology not to replace human presence, but to amplify it. ChatGPT can help you clarify ideas, speed up decision-making, and generate fresh perspectives. But the real advantage comes when you integrate it into your leadership in a way that strengthens – not drains – your inner alignment.
When we put ourselves in the front of development, we will have a better chance of getting a healthy relationship with ChatGPT and the true cognitive future versions of ChatGPT. We must use ChatGPT wisely only where it adds true value as it uses lots of electricity.
The Challenges
Even with ChatGPT’s potential, leaders face hurdles:
- Over-reliance: Leaning too heavily on AI can erode independent thinking and intuition.
- Disconnect: Using AI purely for efficiency can ignore the deeper human connection needed for motivation.
- Integration gap: Without a strategy, AI insights may remain detached from your real-world leadership practice.
Action Points for Leaders
Soul – Define Your Leadership Intent
Before using ChatGPT for any strategic work, reconnect with your “why.” Ask yourself: What energy do I want to bring into this decision? Use ChatGPT to explore different perspectives but filter its outputs through your values and vision. This ensures your leadership remains purpose-driven.
Mind – Sharpen Strategic Thinking
Engage ChatGPT as a thought partner, not just an answer machine. Use it to challenge assumptions, expand options, and clarify messaging. This keeps your mental energy focused on higher-level insight and innovation rather than administrative overload.
Body – Take Aligned Action
Ideas only matter when executed with consistency and presence. Translate AI-assisted insights into concrete, timely actions. Keep your personal energy in check maintaining a rhythm of work, rest, and recovery ensure you can embody your leadership fully.
The Advantages
- Clarity under pressure: Faster access to well-structured information supports decisive leadership.
- Creative breakthroughs: AI’s breadth of ideas fuels innovation and keeps energy high.
- Sustainable performance: Balanced use of AI reduces mental fatigue, helping leaders stay resilient.
The spark
When you align soul, mind, and body with your ChatGPT usage, you’re not just adopting a tool you’re upgrading your leadership energy. The result is a style of leadership that’s faster, sharper, and more human, powered by both the depth of your presence and the reach of AI – I have named it ‘Energetic Leadership’.
