AI has the potential to greatly enhance business leadership or lead us toward a lifeless and automated working environment. Which outcome will prevail?

Throughout history, humans have excelled at creating innovations that significantly reshape our daily lives and workplaces—but we’ve often struggled to adapt effectively. While the internet provided an unprecedented scale of information, it simultaneously amplified our distractions. And while social media offered new levels of connectivity, it also increased isolation and loneliness. What kind of lasting impact will AI’s extraordinary rise have on our professional and personal lives?

So far, much attention around AI has been rooted in worry about losing jobs and diminishing human values in the workplace. However, in this essential book, Rasmus Hougaard, founder and managing partner of Potential Project, and senior partner Jacqueline Carter argue convincingly that fears around the disruptions AI may cause overlook a critical point: AI holds the profound potential to greatly improve leadership practices, provided leaders are conscious and thoughtful in how they apply it.

To support this view, the authors drew on comprehensive research, conducting detailed interviews with more than a hundred prominent CEOs and executives across various industries, consulting leading AI experts, and gathering extensive 360-degree feedback from leaders and employees around the globe. Their findings demonstrate that carefully delegating appropriate tasks to AI and leveraging it to amplify human capabilities significantly enriches the work experience and enhances organizational performance.

The AI-powered leader moves beyond simply deploying technology, consciously applying it to sharpen and elevate key aspects of human-centric leadership: greater self-awareness, deeper wisdom, and profound compassion. In this way, AI becomes an invaluable tool helping leaders and businesses cultivate far more human workplaces.

Supported by careful study and insightful analysis, More Human guides leaders toward successfully navigating—and even reshaping—the emerging AI-enabled landscape, while helping organizations preserve and enhance essential human qualities in the digital age.
