Arizona Tribune - LHH's General Assembly and EZRA Brands Launch AI Leadership Transformation Program: Pioneering Multi-Faceted Learning for Future-Ready Leaders

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / LHH, the integrated professional talent solutions provider and global business unit of the Adecco Group, today announced the launch of the AI Leadership Transformation Program. The six-month program combines General Assembly's expert-led AI curriculum with EZRA's digital coaching to equip leaders with the skills and confidence needed to lead successful teams in an AI-first workforce.

Recent General Assembly research shows that less than half of companies offer leadership-specific AI training leaving a critical gap in leadership readiness to deliver on AI transformation goals.

A Comprehensive Approach for Enterprise Leaders

The AI Leadership Transformation Program is designed specifically for enterprise-level strategic leaders from mid-level manager to c-suite. Going beyond technical knowledge, it equips leaders to create conditions for lasting change by:

• Fostering open environments that encourage experimentation.

• Applying change management best practices to support individuals frictionlessly.

• Building continuous learning cultures to sustain adoption.

Program Components

• General Assembly's AI for Leaders: Superpowered Track: An intensive curriculum covering agentic AI strategy, implementation frameworks and ethical governance. Leaders learn to integrate AI strategically across organizational levels and unlock enterprise-wide value.

• EZRA's 1:1 Coaching: Personalized coaching ensures behavioral change through daily workflow integration. Certified GenAI specialist coaches translate AI expertise into sustainable leadership habits.

• Expert Speaker Series: Three dedicated 1-hour sessions featuring Fortune 500 AI leaders, academics and industry pioneers provide real-world insights.

• Leadership Development Sessions: Group-based sessions empower leadership teams to collaboratively address AI transformation challenges and drive strategic alignment.

"Successful AI transformations start at the top, with the leaders who set strategic direction, control budgets and guide digital transformation," said Daniele Grassi, CEO of General Assembly. "This program is designed exclusively for leaders to build the knowledge, confidence and skills to lead AI transformation and unlock the full value of AI investments."

"The biggest barrier to AI transformation isn't technology, it's a leader's mindset," said Nick Goldberg, CEO of EZRA. "Leaders can pour over AI strategy, but real change happens when coaching rewires how they operate day-to-day. This program is not just teaching AI skills; it's inviting leaders to shift behaviors within themselves to embrace and see value from investments in AI. This is where real change happens."

Proof of Impact

An EZRA case study with a top global tech company demonstrated measurable behavioral change from the coaching component:

• Nearly 40% of participants increased their use of GenAI in decision-making.

• Over 20% expanded AI use in prioritization and routine task management.

• Confidence and understanding of ethical AI use rose by more than 10%.

Urgent Need for Leadership AI Training

Adecco Group research underscores the need for programs like this: only 10% of organizations are considered future-ready, and just one-third of leaders are engaging with AI development initiatives. Only 34% of surveyed leaders participated in AI training tailored to leadership in the past year, and fewer than half are confident in their teams' AI knowledge.
