Artificial intelligence is changing the rules of leadership — faster and more profoundly than many expected. Organizations face massive challenges: productivity is stagnating, skilled workers are scarce, bureaucracy is growing, and demographics demand new solutions. Studies show: humans and AI together can handle over 30% more workload — and increase work quality by 20%. That’s the best-case scenario, though there are also examples that led to mental laziness and reluctance.

What really works, where are resources being wasted, and what remains truly human when AI makes decisions, controls processes, acts as a “bot-employee and colleague,” or even as a “bot-boss”?

Our new Community of Practice “Leadership with AI” is dedicated to exactly this question. We want to explore together how AI can be sensibly integrated into leadership processes — without losing what leadership is essentially about:

• Empathy and emotional intelligence
• Values-based decision making
• Handling dilemmas
• Creativity and vision
• Interpersonal relationships

In the CoP we create a space for exchange, practical examples, and impulses:

• How are companies already using AI as a leadership tool?
• What opportunities open up for leaders and employees?
• Where are the limits — and which tasks clearly remain human?
• How can organizations make their people fit for AI?

Our goal: learn from each other, develop concrete applications, and find answers to the question: “What remains human in leadership with AI?”

Additionally, my podcast Mensch & KI - next level leadership regularly offers impulses and exciting guests - a good way to engage with the topic in advance and join the discussion.
