About this episode

Steve Bandrowczak discusses the importance of leadership in navigating AI-driven changes in business.

Every business conversation this year seems to circle back to artificial intelligence. This week's episode of Power & Impact circles back to something older: leadership. Former Xerox CEO Steve Bandrowczak has spent his career helping organizations navigate massive change. In our conversation, he makes the case that the companies who get AI right will be led by people who know how to help others adapt, learn, and take on new ways of working — not necessarily the ones with the sharpest technology. Steve also shares the experiences that shaped him decades before he became a CEO: leaving home at 16 with little more than a paper bag, earning a master's degree alongside his daughter years later. He's built a career out of proving that showing up and staying curious outlasts any title. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on the mindset required to guide teams through major technological transitions. Share your thoughts at podcasts@celebration.com.
