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:
Jeremy Kirshbaum founded the generative AI software studio and consultancy Handshake, which develops generative AI systems for nonprofits, research groups, companies, and governments. He has collaborated with senior leaders at companies such as Walmart, Kellogg, and Deloitte, guiding them through the evolving landscape of generative models and systems.
Gabe Cervantes is director of scalable foresight at Institute for the Future, where he supports leaders in learning, understanding, and implementing foresight projects. He works closely with large organizations to help them foster an environment that encourages the development and application of foresight among the next generation of future leaders and top-tier leadership.
