Abstract

The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into organizational management has fundamentally transformed leadership practices. AI challenges traditional leadership paradigms and enables more adaptive, data-driven, and personalized approaches to leading teams and organizations. By leveraging AI, leaders can improve communication and collaboration, anticipate talent needs, analyze real-time data, support leadership development, and address ethical concerns and bias in decision-making. At the same time, AI raises serious concerns about privacy, transparency, job redesign, and the preservation of human qualities such as empathy and moral judgment. Drawing on research in organizational studies, higher and medical education, and library and school leadership, this article examines how AI transforms leadership practices, the resulting challenges, and implications for future leadership development.
