AI-Powered Strategies for Leadership Development – an Interview with Rasmus Holst

 

Can AI help you become a more effective leader and improve team dynamics and collaboration? 

You may be surprised to know that many leaders are using AI to identify learning gaps, remove obstacles, and offer actionable insights. AI helps you spot areas that need improvement so you can take swift action and stay ahead.

In this episode, we meet an AI company leader who is helping to make this possible.

Rasmus Holst is the CEO of LMS365, an AI-powered platform for learning, performance, and engagement integrated into Microsoft workplace tools. With over 30 years of high-tech experience, he has held senior leadership roles at Syniverse, Oracle, Intec, Digiquant, and Nokia. Rasmus has been part of management teams achieving 300%+ YoY growth, nearly $1B exits, and raising over $50M for businesses like Wire and Huddle. He recently oversaw the acquisition of Weekly10, expanding LMS365’s capabilities.

In this interview, Rasmus teaches us: 

  • The synergy of learning, engagement, and performance to create high-functioning teams, likening it to an athlete’s journey of preparation, participation, and results. 
  • How AI can support personal and professional development by identifying learning gaps, removing obstacles, and offering actionable insights. 
  • The value of giving back through mentorship, sharing his experiences to guide others, and encouraging thoughtful, rather than reactive, decision-making. 
  • How the experience of being pushed into unfamiliar roles taught him to value and understand the contributions of others, fostering respect and collaboration.

Hi, I'm Heather

I've been through every type of
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
you can think of.

Layoffs, reorgs, mergers, acquisitions and major technology shifts. More than 20 years leading teams through high-stakes situations where results mattered, people depended on me, and decisions couldn't wait.

Those years taught me how to lead. But they also showed me the hidden cost of always being the one who holds it all together.

During our second reorg in less than a year, I walked out of a meeting with no say in what was happening, just marching orders. When my team asked how the meeting went, I should have said, “Give me 15 minutes to process this.” But I didn't. Instead, I let them absorb every ounce of my frustration.

Then I saw their faces.

The people who looked to me for stability had just watched me unravel. What was that teaching them about their ability to handle the pressure?

That moment changed how I saw my role as a leader. Leading teams isn't only about grit or resilience. It's about how your presence builds the trust your team needs to function when things get hard.

Today, I help organizations build unshakable leaders, teams, and cultures. Because when leaders become the calm teams can count on, organizations don't just survive change, they come out strong enough to handle what’s next.
