Ep. 424: “Leaning In” – Embracing Change, Leading with Courage, and Enabling Workplace Innovation with Kaveh Rostampor of Planhat

Kaveh Rostampor is CEO & Co-founder of Planhat where his passionate about building a customer platform where commercial teams work better. Mike Petrusky asks Kaveh why he believes that leading people in our age of rapid change and workplace innovation requires embracing AI and automation to eliminate repetitive work and make them more effective. He frames the future as an “automated enterprise,” where technology brings together scattered commercial data and workflows so teams can focus on higher-value decisions and customer relationships. Rather than viewing new tools as a threat, Kaveh says employees should learn how to use them to amplify their work, because organizations will increasingly expect teams to accomplish more with better technology. Successful change management depends on clearly explaining why change is necessary and inviting people to become part of the solution as workplaces adapt to AI-driven transformation. Kaveh emphasizes that lasting value usually comes from doing difficult things, encouraging people to leave their comfort zones and pursue challenging work, so he and Mike offer real-world advice and the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
