78% of HR and talent leaders warn AI poses a threat to leadership pipelines<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

New Talogy guide addresses the rising need for \u2018intentional development\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

[PITTSBURGH, PA. September 17, 2026] – With AI visibly impacting the early careers market,1<\/sup> Global talent management solutions provider Talogy has identified a rapidly developing threat to the future workforce: a leadership pipeline that is shrinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talogy surveyed<\/a> 207 senior HR leaders, talent acquisition managers, and learning and development experts, finding that 78% are concerned about the long-term loss of critical leadership skills<\/strong>. With AI taking on tasks and responsibilities traditionally associated with entry-level roles, there is a growing risk that skills may not develop as naturally as they once did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As organizations rethink development in response, Talogy has produced a new guide, \u2018AI and the leadership pipeline: the rising need for intentional development<\/a>.\u2019 Authored by Ali Shalfrooshan, Talogy\u2019s Director of Science Strategy, the guide urges organizations to take a more purposeful approach <\/strong>to replacing natural on-the-job learning opportunities in order to avoid any future leadership skills gaps later in the career journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultivating the \u2018RISE\u2019 capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on research involving more than 6,000 employees2<\/sup>, managers, and talent professionals worldwide, Talogy\u2019s new guide outlines a set of essential human capabilities required to build healthy, sustainable leadership pipelines in an AI-enabled workplace, referred to as RISE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsiveness:<\/strong> developing the openness and agility to learn, engage with emerging technologies and adapt as work evolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insight: <\/strong>harnessing human ability to think critically, make sense of information and generate new ideas and possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability:<\/strong> capturing the capacity to adapt to change, remain resilient through challenge and sustain performance over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effectiveness:<\/strong> reflecting the ability to communicate and collaborate to turn ideas and effort into meaningful outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These four capabilities bring together essential human skills that will form the foundation for healthy, sustainable leadership pipelines in a world where technology is increasingly powerful, but human skills remain essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounding intentional development in science and emotional intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide emphasizes that skills and training alone are insufficient. To protect the long-term pipeline, organizations must anchor talent development in deeper psychological foundations, including values and emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, HR leaders require objective, science-backed psychometric and behavioral assessments to identify leadership potential early, map hidden talent and guide intentional development strategies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs organizations rethink employee development, teaching employees how to work alongside AI tools simply isn\u2019t enough,\u201d said Ali Shalfrooshan<\/a>, Director of Science Strategy. \u201cWe must be far more intentional about cultivating core human capabilities, such as critical thinking, adaptability and collaboration if we are to enable people to take on complex responsibilities over time. Leadership development needs to begin at the early career stage and evolve dynamically throughout the entire career journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
