This book enables leaders to fully utilize AI and build trust in their team and other stakeholders. Leadership has a long history but it never stops evolving. This constant evolution can be a slow gradual shift from one leadership style to another, while other times, this change is far more dramatic. We have been going through the gradual increase in the popularity of transformational leadership at the expense of traditional authoritarian management but now, due to AI, we are going through a more extreme transformation. This dramatic change, often referred to as digital transformation, is also a human transformation. The question arises: How will you lead people and generative AI? The ambidextrous leader adapts their processes to fully utilize AI and builds trust in people. Furthermore, the ambidextrous leader empathises with people. A leader in AI and trust can understand their context and the stage in a project that they are in currently, the challenges they will face now, and in the subsequent stages, and acts accordingly. This book goes through the popular leadership styles, their strengths and weaknesses, how they can influence AI use, and build trust. The book then offers its proprietary blend of transactional, servant and transformational leadership that achieves the best results.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, banks are not only financial institutions but also technology-driven enterprises. As banking operations migrate to digital platforms, cyber threats targeting financial institutions have become more sophisticated and relentless. The consequences of cyberattacks-ranging from financial loss to reputational damage-can be catastrophic, making cybersecurity and technology risk management fundamental pillars of modern banking. The financial sector is one of the most highly regulated industries globally, and for good reason: it holds the trust of billions of individuals and businesses. However, with increased digitization- through mobile banking, cloud computing, open banking APIs, and AI-driven services-comes an expanded attack surface. Incidents such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and sophisticated fraud schemes have demonstrated that a proactive approach to cybersecurity is not just optional-it is imperative. This 2-Volume series, Mastering Cybersecurity and Technology Risk Management in Banking, is designed to provide banking professionals, technology leaders, and cybersecurity practitioners with comprehensive insights into building robust cybersecurity frameworks and managing technology risks effectively. Volume 2 - Technology, AI, and Operational Security explores the latest technologies driving cybersecurity, including artificial intelligence (AI), zero trust security models, and digital transformation risks, along with practical incident response strategies.

Today's organizational leaders contend with a considerable array of potentially profound disruptive forces. Emerging information management and creation tools like AI and robotics, in conjunction with economic swings, global manufacturing shifts, and political instabilities, are creating immeasurable effects on business strategies and leadership practices. Transforming short-term challenges into long-term opportunities requires rising to the occasion, or what we call "clutch leadership." We believe that all leaders have it in them to be "clutch leaders!" Such is the thrust of this book.Clutch leaders have the skills to manage disruptions, break down silos, and align people around a compelling vision of success that represents a shift from 'strategic fit' (matching resources and capabilities with opportunities) to 'strategic stretch' (leveraging industry positioning to create competitive advantage). They create a productive and motivating sense of urgency and high aspiration in the organization during times of increased stakes. Clutch leaders build consensus in support of high stakes decisions and model the way with a combination of confidence, conviction, capability, and conviction. Focusing on impact during disruptive times enables clutch leaders to harness the full potential of organizational resources beyond strategic fit, even if it requires a temporary push of skills and behaviors to extreme or taking on additional risks and opportunities (strategic stretch).What makes clutch leadership unique is the focus on "temporary imbalance" - the suspension of trade-offs between staying in the comfort zone versus playing to one's tried and true strengths - until the gap is closed or until the new vision and reality are realigned through innovation and leverage. Their distinctive ability to balance high-stress, big picture thinking with composure, agility, attention to details, and strong logical reasoning with communication skills and empathy allows them to navigate fast-paced, challenging situations quickly and successfully. Numerous case studies are also included to illustrate innovative leadership techniques and applications.

How can companies and nonprofit organizations turn sustainability strategies into real-world practice? How can they innovate to gain a competitive edge while contributing to sustainable and regenerative development? And where should you as an innovation, sustainability or human resource manager begin? There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Similarly, it takes a whole culture to achieve sustainable innovation in a repeatable and reliable manner. In this first comprehensive work on sustainable innovation cultures, the authors show how organizational culture translates sustainability-related values into environmentally, socially and economically valuable outcomes. By aligning sustainability literacy with appropriate practices and mediating artefacts (including those of artificial intelligence), virtuous circles of targeted output, valuable outcomes and desired impacts can be created. There are three stages of activity crucial if an organization is to grow a sustainable innovation culture?namely conceiving, co-creating, and cultivating. First understand and specify the organization’s values, tensions and values-action gaps, then co-create targeted interventions, and finally cultivate sustainable innovation practices and methods. This framework and its practices and methods are based on a comprehensive literature review, expert interviews and ethnographic field studies in transformational companies across Europe with a global presence. Case studies and examples illustrate each of the 32 practices and 36 methods described in the book. The companion site offers extensive training, educational media and materials such as card sets, videos, podcasts and slide decks for practitioners and educators. Academic syllabi as well as certified educational materials and university modules are available on an open access basis.

The new edition of this bestselling book captures the breadth and depth of ongoing research from around the world that speaks to the power of social identity as a basis for both effective leadership and engaged followership. This approach is highlighted in case studies from the COVID-19 pandemic and as a way of understanding the rise, fall and resurgence of Donald Trump.

Drawing on real-world examples and rich data sources, this book will appeal to academics, researchers, and students of psychology, business, and management, as well as to practitioners, policy makers, and anyone interested in the workings of leadership, influence, and power.

A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need within minutes. Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager s rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by Flash Teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its 'revolutionary potential': a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes. Anticipate and plan team designs with AI. Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve. Industries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming.

A visionary guide to using technology for positive social change, from a MacArthur genius awardee, former rocket engineer, and passionate leader in the social enterprise movement. The accepted wisdom in big business is that the only worthy ideas are ones that make a lot of money, preferably billions. But Jim Fruchterman believes there is a different path for technology. What if tech returned to its roots and made people more effective and powerful? Even bolder, what if the benefits of technology came to the 90% of humanity traditionally neglected by for-profit companies in favor of immense profits gained by focusing on the richest 10%? In Technology for Good, Fruchterman explores that question and delivers a comprehensive how-to for leaders who want to create, expand, join, support, and improve organizations that see building technology as a key element of delivering on their social good mission. The author makes a strong case that tech is required for social change at scale. He then offers guidance on how to structure, fund, staff, manage, scale, and sustain nonprofits that leverage technology for social good. The book includes actionable, proven practices; compelling case studies of nonprofits that have cracked the code on tech for good; and the author s own stories of what he has learned as a tech-for-good entrepreneur. With 80% of the examples in the book from organizations and individuals outside the U.S., Technology for Good is a call to action with a genuinely global focus, blazing a path forward where human beings come rightly and justly before profits.
