Discover insights for human centred leadership in a transforming world

This eBook brings together insights and practical guidance from 10 leaders on navigating the intersection of technology, people and purpose. Are you ready to lead with clarity, compassion, and innovation as AI reshapes the workplace? 

What it means to lead in the AI era

The world of work is being reshaped by forces that are complex, fast-moving, and testing the boundaries of what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of this transformation, challenging organisations and individuals to rethink not only how they work, but what it is they do and why they do it. The research and conversations in this collection reveal a clear theme: that today’s most significant challenges cannot be solved by technology alone. 

What you'll learn

  • Human centred leadership: emerges as the common thread, highlighting the need for empathy, dialogue, and the courage to ask bold questions and take bold actions. Learn how to balance progress with purpose, efficiency with empathy, and innovation with inclusion.
  • Practical strategies: 10 global leaders offer actionable advice and simple frameworks on building resilient relationships, sparking innovation, and leading change with confidence.
  • Real stories and case studies: CEOs, HR leaders and transformation experts share their insights on AI adoption, from talent development and upskilling to balancing innovation and experimentation with business as usual.
