AI Leadership: Human-Machine Synergy in the Digital Age

This innovative book argues that effective leadership requires partnering human creativity, empathy and ethics with AI's analytical power. Rather than AI replacing leaders, Lukasz Sulkowski illustrates how it can augment their capabilities by automating routine tasks to allow leaders to focus on vision, innovation and interpersonal skills.

Chapters interpret classical theories for the AI era, identifying new competencies in data literacy and technological acumen that are needed for AI-integrated leadership. The book examines international case studies across a breadth of sectors, from healthcare to finance, exploring how the rapid adoption of AI in Asia, ethics-focused regulations in Europe and innovation-driven approaches in North America demonstrate how cultural and policy contexts shape leadership strategies. Looking to the future, Sulkowski addresses issues of bias, fairness, transparency and accountability to ensure that the adoption of this technology remains aligned with human values.

AI Leadership is of great benefit to scholars and students of business and management, organizational studies and technology and innovation. Business owners and consultants will also benefit from its practical guidance, such as readiness assessments, AI adoption roadmaps and decision-support tools provided to help integrate AI into organizations.
