Aus dem Klappentext

While much ink has been spilled about leadership generally, much of the received wisdom on the topic is based on little more than anecdote and minimal evidence-based research. It often reflects only the personal opinion of the author and is rarely interested in building on a robust foundation of qualitative and quantitative data. This book changes all that.

In Computational Leadership, distinguished Harvard University leadership researcher, Dr. Brian R. Spisak delivers a paradigm shift in the study of leadership by employing simulations, network analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and other computational approaches to fundamentally improve all aspects of the discipline. The book is positioned at the intersection of cutting-edge science and technology, leadership and business research, the author’s own first-person knowledge of leadership best practices, and interviews with senior leaders from IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, and more.

Computational Leadership offers a holistic and practical framework for utilizing advancements in leadership technology. It provides concrete strategies for improving interpersonal relationships and morale in remote working arrangements, as well as data-driven techniques for increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion during the hiring and promotion of personnel. This book also demonstrates ways to mitigate the fragility of “just-in-time” supply chains by employing nascent process mining and digital twin technologies.

A must-read guide for managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, human resource professionals, and other business leaders looking for an alternative to leadership strategies based largely on intuition and personal anecdote, Computational Leadership is the perfect resource for anyone ready to finally apply modern technologies to the ancient art and science of leading people.
