Artificial Intelligence is transforming business faster than any previous revolution-but true success in the AI era isn't about technology alone. It's about leadership.
In AI Readiness for Leaders, globally recognized leadership and AI strategist Dr. Farzana Chohan reveals a practical, human-centered roadmap to help leaders prepare their organizations for the AI age-ethically, strategically, and sustainably. Drawing on decades of real-world experience advising Fortune 500 companies, universities, and nonprofits, Dr. Chohan shows that AI readiness begins not with algorithms, but with awareness.
Inside this groundbreaking guide, you'll discover:

• The AI Readiness Spectrum(TM) - a proven framework to assess your organization's maturity across strategy, operations, and people.
• Human-Centered Leadership Tools - to align AI transformation with empathy, purpose, and ethical decision-making.
