Leaders Make the Future, Third Edition: Ten New Skills to Humanize Leadership with Generative AI, Edition 3
About this ebook
Over the next decade, all leaders will be augmented with some form of generative artificial intelligence, or GenAI. For the best leaders, this will mean dramatic improvement. For mediocre leaders, this will mean persistent confusion, distraction, and pretense. With futureback thinking—looking ten years ahead, then planning backward from future to next to now—this third edition of Leaders Make the Future shows how people can improve their leadership skills while expanding their human perspective.
Now 75 percent revised and expanded with resources from the Institute for the Future, this new edition is organized around ten future leadership skills:
Augmented futureback curiosity
Augmented clarity
Augmented dilemma flipping
Augmented bio-engaging
Augmented immersive learning
Augmented depolarizing
Augmented commons creating
Augmented smart mob swarming
Augmented strength with humility

AI-augmented leadership will be key for any organization to tackle the uncertainty of the future. And by incorporating practical methodologies, ethical guidelines, and innovative leadership practices, this book will help leaders develop their clarity and moderate their certainty.
