Author duo Marin Ivezic and Luka Ivezic are well placed in the industry to appreciate the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for businesses. Marin Ivezic is a Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where he has been involved in solving some of the toughest technology problems—including ones that use AI. Luka Izevic, on the other hand, is an independent consultant and author exploring the implications of technologies like IoT, AI, and 5G. To better conduct his work, he has lived in several countries spanning different continents. Their expertise and knowledge about AI are on display in The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI: Preparing Your Leadership Skills for the AI-Shaped Future of Work.

The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI delivers practical advice to today’s leaders on how to move into uncharted territory in the age of AI. The author team of Marin Ivezic and Luka Ivezic emphasizes that AI, due to its transformative nature, can be used to generate both revenues and jobs, instead of simply being used as a cost-cutting measure that results in minimal profits. However, this requires proper planning and commitment on the part of the leaders of an organization. The authors take examples from history to explain that as the previous industrial revolutions disrupted the prevailing flow of work by mechanizing manufacturing, resulting in rural to urban migration and momentary job losses, AI likewise will bring disruption in the current work scenario. It is not only going to displace blue-collar workers but also white-collar workers far higher up the ladder. This book shows a way to minimize the pain that AI will unleash and reap its benefits.

I could easily relate to the book due to its use of little technical jargon and lucid explanations. The authors substantiate their viewpoints with credible real-life examples and cite high-quality research papers. The book debunks the myths related to AI and presents a practical description of how AI is going to impact businesses and employees. They also explain the roles of diversion and inclusivity for the effective use of AI. The book clearly explains why AI cannot surpass humans, despite all its capabilities. Emotional Intelligence will be the need of the hour is the greatest message conveyed by this book. Overall, I would recommend The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI to anyone who wants to learn how to remain relevant in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The Future Of Leadership In The Age Of AI: Preparing Your Leadership Skills For The AI-Shaped Future Of Work by Marin Ivezic and Luka Ivezic is an engaging book that will help readers understand what AI can do and how it can fit into their strategies. Artificial Intelligence is going to play an important role in the future of organizations and the business environments they operate in but whatever analysis available on the topic points to AI not having an impact more than any past technology has had. The book speaks about how AI is going to affect the future and real problems. While many downplay AI as just another technology added to the business ambiance, there are dramatic visions too about AI. The book discusses both and shows readers the problems associated with both.

AI is already here and it has come in simple forms and has been integrated in a way that is often invisible. The book is a good way to understand the topic as it discusses both sides of AI without being biased.

The book is well organized, with an introduction, then the uses of AI today, three views about its future, its impact on the economy, the enormous changes that will happen in skill sets, both among leaders and managers, and among those they lead, how leaders need more human skills than they had in the past, and driving changes as innovators and motivators. The Future Of Leadership In The Age Of AI gives readers a broader view of AI's perspectives without any exaggeration. The book is an eye-opener and the comic strips at the beginning of the chapters lighten the topic that follows. It is a refreshing, interesting, knowledgeable and insightful book.
