Kai D. Leifert
I help high achievers escape the success trap and build autonomy—without sacrificing performance.
I had an insightful conversation with Mike Ashie , Head of Strategy at OneCliq.io , on navigating today’s shifting workplace, the evolving role of AI, and what it takes to lead effectively in a complex, multi-generational world. This interview dives into topics shaping the future of work—ones that Mike handles with a seasoned perspective from years of strategic leadership.
Gen Z & Leadership: Challenges and Opportunities
Mike opened up about the unique challenges Gen Z faces in leadership. From high economic pressure to the demand for feedback and coaching, it’s clear this generation wants more than just traditional "head-down" work. They’re looking for purpose, context, and room to contribute meaningfully. Mike highlighted how Gen Z is adapting to—and reshaping—leadership by combining traditional styles with a fresh, collaborative approach.
“They don’t need a pat on the back; they need clarity and benchmarks to grow,” Mike shared.
OneCliq’s Pivot: From Video to Sentiment Analysis
In an unexpected twist, OneCliq pivoted from repurposing content to real-time sentiment analysis—an area with powerful implications for brands, public figures, and even the future of customer feedback. Imagine having a pulse on what people really think about your brand, in real-time. As Mike explains, OneCliq’s new focus allows companies to tap into authentic consumer sentiment, something conventional surveys can’t match.
“We realized Gen Z isn’t filling out surveys—they’re talking online. That’s where we listen,” Mike noted.
For content creators, business owners, and leaders, OneCliq’s work signals an exciting shift in understanding audience insights and adapting to market needs.
The Human Touch: Where AI Meets Real-World Skills
While AI has revolutionized many areas, Mike emphasized that interpersonal skills—negotiation, emotional intelligence, and genuine human connection—are irreplaceable. For those seeking a future-proof career path, he suggests honing these "soft skills" that machines can’t replicate.
