Dear Visionary Leader,
I want to share a story with you—a story about why I wrote LEAP Beyond AI and why I believe it’s more urgent than ever for leaders like you to embrace its guidance.
Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed an unprecedented shift in the world of leadership. The rise of artificial intelligence has been both exhilarating and daunting, presenting challenges and opportunities that are reshaping how we lead, connect, and innovate. For many leaders I’ve worked with, this rapid pace of change has felt overwhelming—like standing at the edge of a storm, unsure whether to brace for impact or to find a way through.
I’ve been there too. The question that kept me awake at night was this: How can we lead in a world where technology is evolving faster than our ability to adapt?
But here’s the truth I’ve discovered: The power to thrive in this new era isn’t about outsmarting AI—it’s about mastering the art of leadership that blends human intelligence, emotional awareness, and technology. It’s about embracing disruption, not fearing it. And it’s about leaning into your purpose to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.
That’s why I created the LEAP framework. It’s a roadmap I wish I’d had when I first began navigating these challenges. It’s helped me—and countless leaders I’ve coached—turn uncertainty into opportunity, aligning their leadership with both personal purpose and professional impact.
Yet, this book isn’t just about individual success. The way we lead today will define the world of tomorrow. In an era of AI-driven decisions, the human touch—our empathy, vision, and ability to inspire—has never been more critical. The stakes couldn’t be higher, not just for your team or organization but for humanity as a whole. If we don’t act now, we risk losing the very qualities that make us extraordinary as leaders and as people.
LEAP Beyond AI is your guide to navigating this transformation. In its pages, you’ll find the tools to align your leadership with the future, empower your team, and create meaningful change. This isn’t just about keeping up with disruption—it’s about leading it, with grace and purpose.
If you’re ready to step into this moment and become the leader the world needs, I invite you to take this leap with me. Together, let’s shape a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.
With gratitude and belief in your potential,
Micheline Nader
