Leaders Make the Future, Third Edition: 10 New Skills to Humanize Leadership with Generative AI

Bob Johansen

In a world of chaos, how can generative AI help leaders lead?

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
  • Human calming

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.
