<p style="font-weight: 400;">How is AI-augmented learning reshaping professional pathways for engineers in Singapore, a nation advancing its Smart Nation agenda? This article takes a conceptual approach in responding to this question, drawing on organizational learning, identity theory and AI ethics to frame AI as more than a technical tool. Findings highlight three key dynamics. First, AI is reshaping professional learning and knowledge acquisition. Second, ethical tensions emerge around accountability, bias and human oversight. Third, engineers are moving into hybrid techno-managerial roles that require digital fluency and identity adaptation. Organizational responses such as capability building, ethical governance and targeted upskilling are central to managing these transitions. “The implications extend to policy, education and practice. It concludes with a conceptual framework for AI-augmented learning which underscores the need for ethical literacy,” professional adaptability and inclusive workforce strategies.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">As sustainability initiatives expand across global organizations, effective leadership is increasingly vital for managing remote, cross-regional teams. This study examines how servant, transformational, and adaptive leadership styles helped a remote team deal with problems in a real project. Using a qualitative case study of L’Oréal China’s Biotherm “Empty Bottle Refill” project, the paper explores how leadership responses mitigated information gaps, trust deficits, psychological disengagement, and coordination inefficiencies. Data were gathered through project documents, semi-structured interviews (six interviews, 50–60 minutes each), and internal communications, and analyzed using thematic coding. Findings include three main propositions: (1) servant leadership fosters psychological safety and team cohesion in remote, cross-functional projects; (2) transformational leadership strengthens mission alignment and stimulates local innovation; and (3) adaptive leadership enables fast, localized experimentation and iterative learning. These styles functioned as a mutually reinforcing leadership system tailored to distributed, sustainability-focused initiatives. The study contributes a pragmatic triadic leadership framework and offers concrete recommendations for managers designing remote projects that must balance trust, purpose, and agility across regions and functions.</p>
