Leadership in the Age of AI
Flavio A. Geisshuesler
In the age of AI, irreplaceable leaders are those who can do what machines cannot: exercise judgment, hold paradox, and stay accountable amid uncertainty. AI can recognize patterns, accelerate analysis, and make plausible answers cheap. But leadership begins where prediction ends.
In Erratic Intelligence, Flavio A. Geisshuesler argues that the capacities many organizations have tried to standardize away—ambiguity, contradiction, emotion, wandering attention, and moral risk—are becoming a leader’s most valuable assets. Erratic does not mean random or reckless. It means adaptive, answerable, and able to change course when no system can decide what matters.
Drawing on Tibetan Buddhism, cognitive science, and his work with executives, Geisshuesler develops a new framework for leadership in organizations transformed by AI: not intelligence despite unpredictability but intelligence through it. Across nine practices, with case studies and exercises, he shows leaders how to make consequential decisions when the data is incomplete, the stakes are human, and no model can settle the question.
This is not a manifesto against AI. It is a field guide for the human work that AI makes more necessary—above all, the courage to remain responsible when efficiency is not enough.
