The central question of our era is not whether machines will outpace humans. It is whether the frameworks through which we lead, govern, and organise are fit for the world we are building. The debate around artificial intelligence and leadership often distracts us with surface anxieties—algorithmic bias, automation risk, emotional intelligence add-ons—while ignoring a more fundamental issue: today’s leadership structures are unprepared for both technological partnership and human complexity.We are not merely confronting the challenge of coexisting with machines. We are confronting the reality that our leadership models were already strained—transactional, extractive, and increasingly dislocated from meaning. The rise of AI has not so much disrupted these models as it has illuminated their inadequacy.
