Tolan C: Who Stole My Chair? Leadership
in the Age of AI

Who Stole My Chair? Leadership in the Age of AI

AI is rewriting the rules of success. It's time to learn the seven skills that will allow you to thrive in the new world of work.

As AI continues to revolutionize business and work, it has never been more vital for professionals and leaders at every stage to futureproof themselves in preparation for what is to come. SuperSkills empowers you to build on your experience with the seven essential skills for the future of work and learn to recognize when you are drifting with the algorithm rather than designing your own path.

Once you've mastered these traits, you'll be equipped with a resilient, future-focused skillset, essential for navigating the upcoming technological shift. Drawing on his experience as a future-of-work strategist, Rahim Hirji shows you how to build the confidence to chart a path forwards. 

By the time you've finished, you won't just be prepared for the future - you'll be prepared to shape it.

Themes include: AI transformation, future of work, adaptability, lifelong learning, innovation mindset, human skills

The Seven Human Skills for the Age of AI

SuperSkills

We are living in an era of unprecedented disruption--one that demands a fundamental rethinking of leadership. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is redefining what it means to be human, while the established global order is fragmenting into competing spheres of influence. In this landscape of collapsing norms and emerging systems--shaped by both human and artificial intelligence--the complexity of the present points to an even more uncertain future. To navigate these challenges of technology, conflict, and inequality, leaders need a holistic model that prioritizes not only organizational success but also the well-being of humanity and the planet.This book explores the qualities and new competencies that leaders must develop to guide creative and lasting change in today's world. Traditional leadership models focus on doing--crafting visions, communicating, directing, and achieving outcomes. But those frameworks were built for more stable times. The modern world requires a new kind of leader--one defined not just by doing, but by being. This approach emphasizes the character, presence, and purpose of the leader: who they are, how they show up, and why people choose to follow them. Ultimately, it is about leading with authenticity, inspiring trust, and shaping a vision that advances both human and planetary flourishing.

Mastering Holistic Leadership for Complex Futures

Creative Change Leadership

What would you do if one day you walked into work and your chair was gone?
Not your desk.
Not your office.
Just... your chair.
The symbol of your authority.
Your position.
Your relevance.
In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming industries, the real question isn't whether technology will change the workplace-it already has.
The real question is:
Will you adapt before your chair disappears?
In Who Stole My Chair?, leadership experts Coach MJ Tolan and Dr. Raymond Banzuela take readers on a powerful allegorical journey through the modern workplace, where technology is evolving faster than most leaders can keep up.
Through the story of Ryan Mercer and his team at Keystone Mutual Insurance, this thought-provoking book explores what happens when artificial intelligence begins reshaping the roles people once believed were secure.
But this isn't a book about fear.
It's a book about reinvention.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
 Why AI isn't coming for your job - it's coming for your chair
 The real reason organizations struggle with technological change
 How leaders can guide teams through fear, uncertainty, and disruption
 The difference between leaders who survive change and those who disappear
 The critical human skills machines will never replace
 How to build influence, relevance, and leadership in the age of automation
With a compelling mix of storytelling, real-world insight, and leadership wisdom, this book reveals a powerful truth:
Technology does not eliminate leadership.
It exposes it.
The future of work will belong to leaders who can adapt, inspire, and evolve faster than the systems around them.
If you want to stay relevant, lead with confidence, and build a future that machines cannot replace...
This book is your wake-up call.
Because in the age of AI, you may not control the technology.
But you can control who you become when it arrives.
¿ Perfect for readers interested in:Leadership development
The future of work
Artificial intelligence and business
Workplace transformation
Emotional intelligence in leadership

Navigate leadership transformation when Industrial Age strategies no longer apply In Emergence: How Leaders Break Free from Outdated Thinking, Jennifer Vessels - CEO of Next Step and the change agent who led Adobe's shift from packaged software to cloud subscriptions, from during which its market value grew from $16 billion to $250 billion - delivers a proven approach for leading organizations through rapid, converging disruptions in which traditional planning approaches consistently fail to produce results.

How Leaders Break Free From Outdated Thinking

Emergence

In The Simon Principles, Hermann Simon, a global advisor, scholar, and entrepreneur, distills the essential lessons he learned at the intersection of leadership, decision making, innovation, and time to provide a reflective, experience-rich exploration of how leaders think, decide, and endure. From boardrooms and hidden champions to encounters with business icons, scientists, artists, and statesmen, Simon reveals why leadership cannot be reduced to tools or metrics—and why judgment, character, timing, and focus matter more than ever. He examines how intuition complements analysis, why speed is sometimes decisive and sometimes dangerous, how digitalization and AI reshape authority, and why experience has no shortcut. He explores the psychology of pricing, the power of genuine innovation, and the importance of humility in business, while always eyeing the bigger picture of a digitized, globalized world.
This book is a plea for entrepreneurial thinking that is not driven solely by short-term profits but creates long-term value. It is also a compass that safely guides us through the complexity of modern corporate leadership—with courage, foresight, and consistency.
“Hermann Simon distills decades of experience as an academic and entrepreneur into powerful insights every manager and entrepreneur should read. This book offers timeless guidance on leadership, value creation, and market success.” Philip Kotler Kellogg School of Management Northwestern University, USA

Timeless Lessons for High-Impact Management

The Simon Principles

Technology may power the future, but humanity will determine its course. This book shows how human-centric leadership builds the resilience organizations need to navigate uncertainty, equipping people to seize opportunities and mitigate the threats of exponential technological, economic and societal change. People First is a timely and practical guide for leaders navigating today's high-pressure business environment. In a world obsessed with artificial intelligence, the book makes the case that the real differentiator is still - and will always be - HUMAN..Drawing on authentic stories from CEOs, entrepreneurs and global institutions, the author shows how leaders can unlock uniquely human strengths - passion, purpose and partnership - to build resilient, high-performing organizations. The message is urgent and clear: in these tech-driven, fast-moving and unpredictable times, organizations must rediscover what only people can do - exercise judgment, apply values, inspire others and build connection - and leadership is what turns those human strengths into lasting success.

Human-centric leadership in a tech-driven world

People First

What if artificial intelligence isn't replacing human value-but revealing what it truly is?

In The Spiritual Organization, Dr. Agata Dulnik challenges the dominant narrative around AI and the future of work. Rather than framing technology as the threat, she reveals a deeper truth: organizations are not breaking because of AI-they are being exposed by it.

Drawing on over two decades of executive coaching and organizational psychology, this book introduces a powerful new framework for navigating the AI era: the 5 Pillars of Relational Depth-Truth, Secure Attachment, Narrative Coherence, Generative Tension, and Meaning. Together, these pillars form the hidden infrastructure that determines whether organizations collapse under pressure or evolve into something wiser, more human, and more resilient.

Through compelling case studies, embodied practices, and a practical 100-day implementation playbook, The Spiritual Organization shows leaders how to build cultures where performance and presence coexist-where speed does not come at the cost of soul.

This is not a book about adding spirituality to business. It is a redefinition of what leadership, work, and value mean in a world where intelligence is no longer exclusively human.

For leaders, founders, and organizations ready to move beyond optimization-and into transformation-this book offers a roadmap for building systems that are not only efficient, but alive.

Purpose, Processes, and Leadership in the Era of AI

The Spiritual Organization

The leaders who thrive over the next decade will not be the ones who compete with AI on its own terms. They will be the ones who invest deeply in the qualities that make them irreplaceable. This is The Human Brand.We are at an inflection point in the history of leadership. The qualities that used to be the bedrock of great leaders--analytical skills, deliverable speed, clear communication--can now be easily matched or outperformed by AI. So if these don't make a leader great, what does?The Human Brand argues it's the fundamentally human qualities of leadership that will make them thrive--the ability to exercise genuine judgment, build real trust, or be authentically present with another human being. Those qualities are not footnotes to leadership. They are what leadership is. That is your human brand and this book provides a clear, grounded, and practical path to building one.<ul><li>In Part 1, you'll tackle the anxiety surrounding AI head-on to better understand your value in the company when AI can do what you used to do. You'll learn what tasks can easily be tackled by AI without value loss and which you should focus on.</li><li>In Part 2, you'll learn the how to develop the four core qualities of the human brand--judgment, empathy, courage, and presence--and what makes them so important.</li><li>In Part 3, you'll translate those qualities into action, learning how to hone the art of storytelling and use your brand to build a company culture that can stand the test of time.</li><li>Finally, in Part 4, you'll learn a framework for self-development and how to leave a legacy built on your humanity.</li></ul>The Human Brand is a book for leaders who want to navigate the AI era not with anxiety, but with clarity, purpose, and a deep confidence in what makes them irreplaceable.

How Leaders Stay Relevant and Competitive in the Age of AI

The Human Brand

In a world defined by burnout, quiet quitting, and relentless change, traditional management is failing. But there is a better way.
Building a Coaching Culture: The Ripple Effect Raising Performance and Growth offers a human-centered alternative to leadership that not only boosts productivity but also transforms people. With decades of leadership experience, Kim Lee introduces "The Ripple Effect"-a research-backed framework that proves how a leader's targeted acts of coaching create cascading waves of positive change.
This isn't about management fads or getting a certification. It's about a leader's deepest work: seeing the unseen potential in others and helping them see it too. You'll learn how to activate talent through powerful conversations, deliver feedback that fuels, not frightens, and lead with empathy to drive real results.
This essential guide equips leaders at every level, from first-time managers to CEOs, with the practical tools to navigate today's dynamic landscape, including the integration of AI. Because when you invest in people, you create a powerful defense against costly turnover and build a culture of lasting success.

The Ripple Effect Raising Performance and Growth

Building a Coaching Culture

Advising CEOs for decades and having served as BCG's CEO for nine years, Rich Lesser spent a career in the rooms where high-stakes business decisions get made. In The Six-in-One CEO, he invites you into those rooms as he defines the six roles a modern CEO must play, and what it takes to play them well.The CEO's job has changed more in this decade than at any point in modern business history. Shocks arrive faster and overlap. AI is permeating every corner of the enterprise. Trust is harder to build and easier to lose. Geopolitics are upending business as usual. Employees are facing a new host of stressors. Today's leaders must navigate all this while delivering growth and building organizations for the long term.To explore these challenges, Lesser, now BCG's Global Chair, had candid conversations with more than two dozen leading CEOs, including Arvind Krishna of IBM, Carol Tomé of UPS, Christophe Fouquet of ASML, Doug McMillon of Walmart, Maria Black of ADP, Nicolas Hieronimus of L'Oréal, and Young Liu of Foxconn.Their stories, BCG's insights, and Lesser's own experience converge on six roles CEOs must now embrace: chief vitality officer, chief learning officer, chief statesman, chief resilience officer, chief trust officer, and chief well-being officer.Avoiding the checklists and playbooks often found in traditional business books, Lesser closes each chapter with personal memos to CEOs offering practical advice on navigating the six roles based on real-world examples. He also offers his take on the critical leadership traits that CEOs often underestimate, along with his holistic view on legacy.Reflective about what leadership has always required and exacting about what this era now demands, The Six-in-One CEO is grounded in real decisions rather than theory, written by a leader who has done the job, and leveraging BCG's vast experience. It's essential reading for CEOs, senior executives, rising leaders, and anyone responsible for guiding organizations in this extraordinary period of change.

Redefining Leadership for a High-Speed, High-Stakes World

The Six-in-One CEO

Everyone in the room knows the decision is wrong. No one says anything. The CEO moves forward. Six months later, the restructuring. Twelve months 
later, another one. The pattern repeats - and no one asks why.

It is not a failure of strategy. It is not a failure of data. It is something that happens before all of that - in the internal structure of the person deciding. In the capacity to hold pressure without 
surrendering to consensus. To see one's own blind spots before they turn into crises. To stop when everything pushes towards reaction.

That capacity has a name. It has a cost when it is missing. And for the first time, it has a book that makes it visible.

Hélder Teixeira spent twenty years across consultancy, academia, and organisational strategy in nine countries - until he realised that the pattern he kept seeing in organisations had no name in any of the disciplines he practised. The Last Asset is that name. And the question that holds it is the one no management model asks: who measures the 
internal quality of the person deciding - and what is the cost of not doing so?

For those who lead, and know something is missing in the models they follow - but have never found anyone able to name it.

Eight chapters. 204 pages. The first volume of a trilogy.
