As artificial intelligence transforms how organizations operate, the traditional sources of professional advantage are shifting. Younger, AI-native employees may have an edge in adopting emerging tools, experimenting with new technologies and accelerating execution, but experienced leaders bring institutional knowledge, strategic perspective and the judgment developed through years of navigating complex business decisions.However, the divide between these groups may be less important than what happens when they work together.According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, 39% of workers' existing skill sets are expected to be transformed or become outdated by 2030.
