- Summary:
- This guide examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping leadership by augmenting decision-making, influencing team dynamics, and raising new ethical questions related to accountability and the preservation of human agency. Central to the guide are three enduring leadership orientations: task, people, and strategy. This framework helps students understand how AI can enhance task-related efficiency and extend instrumental capabilities such as strategic forecasting and environmental scanning, while simultaneously challenging leaders to preserve people-oriented behaviours grounded in emotional intelligence, such as empathy and compassion. Key challenges discussed include the dehumanisation of work, bias in algorithmic decisions, and the erosion of accountability when leadership functions shift to AI, with examples from Deliveroo, Uber, Amazon, and Boeing illustrating consequences of technological overconfidence. Best practices highlighted include ethical oversight, alignment with emerging regulations, and involving employees in AI design and implementation, supported by examples from Accenture, Microsoft, Starbucks, Deutsche Telekom, and Siemens to demonstrate responsible AI leadership. By exploring these dynamics, this guide equips students to critically assess and navigate AI-driven transformations in leadership. It provides insights into balancing innovation with fairness and accountability, thus preparing future leaders to manage both technological and human dimensions of organisational change.
