Mastering the Synergy of Technology and Human Expertise

Understanding AI technology is just the beginning. Leaders must understand how to employ power skills to elevate how humans interact—with one another and with AI. Critical thinking, leadership, conflict management, stakeholder engagement and other power skills are essential in all projects. 

AI-Powered Leadership aims to empower leaders to navigate the complexities of the AI-driven world by developing human competencies and integrating them with AI capabilities, fostering a balanced, innovative, and ethically sound leadership approach that drives sustainable success. It aims to provide a comprehensive framework for leaders to understand and apply the “Both/And” approach in leadership, where leaders don’t have to choose between traditional methods and AI-driven innovation but can leverage the strengths of both. The approach of the book is a practical, integrative framework that combines theory with actionable strategies to help leaders navigate the complex dynamics of AI in their organizations.

“AI is already here and is making career-altering changes in the way project managers lead their projects. Ignoring it won’t make it go away. Simply using it is also not enough. Get and stay ahead of the curve by learning how to best collaborate with AI systems. This book gives you a unique edge—it details how you can combine your power skills and powerful knowledge about how AI really works (and doesn’t, sometimes) to make the best possible project decisions, improve project success—and keep your career moving forward.”

—Harold Kerzner, Ph.D
