Leadership With AI and Trust: Adapting popular leadership styles for AI

This book enables leaders to fully utilize AI and build trust in their team and other stakeholders. Leadership has a long history but it never stops evolving. This constant evolution can be a slow gradual shift from one leadership style to another, while other times, this change is far more dramatic. We have been going through the gradual increase in the popularity of transformational leadership at the expense of traditional authoritarian management but now, due to AI, we are going through a more extreme transformation. This dramatic change, often referred to as digital transformation, is also a human transformation. The question arises: How will you lead people and generative AI?

The ambidextrous leader adapts their processes to fully utilize AI and builds trust in people. Furthermore, the ambidextrous leader empathises with people. A leader in AI and trust can understand their context and the stage in a project that they are in currently, the challenges they will face now, and in the subsequent stages, and acts accordingly.

This book goes through the popular leadership styles, their strengths and weaknesses, how they can influence AI use, and build trust. The book then offers its proprietary blend of transactional, servant and transformational leadership that achieves the best results.
