AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work--or to lead us
into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? Humans have always been
good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work--though not always good at
adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes
of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more
connected than ever and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a
new era of robotic impersonal efficiency or will it catalyze a renaissance redefining
leadership and the world of work? So far that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety
about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as founder and
Managing Partner of Potential Project Rasmus Hougaard and Senior Partner Jacqueline Carter show
in this essential book that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI leaving out a
crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better--the key is in how
leaders use it. By delegating tasks to AI and using it to augment skills and behaviors leaders
have an opportunity to unlock a truly human experience of work while enhancing organizational
performance. The AI-augmented leader moves beyond a focus on the technology itself to
constantly probe how it can enhance and deepen the core qualities of human-centered leadership:
awareness wisdom and compassion. In this way AI can help leaders and organizations become
more human. With deep insight and rigorous research More Human will help leaders navigate our
AI-enabled future.
