  • “AI is already here, reshaping our work and our decisions. But for all it can do, it still can’t listen, reassure, or build trust. That’s where emotionally intelligent leadership comes in—and it’s no longer optional. Dr. Sellers challenges us to audit our leadership programs and move emotional intelligence from the margins to the center. This book is both a wake-up call and a guide for anyone committed to helping leaders grow with integrity in the age of AI disruption. Our people—and our future—depend on it.”

    Dr. Carmen M. Allison, Chief HR and Business Enablement Officer, Hoover Institution, Stanford University

  • “Most leadership development books offer context-free, surface-level advice. Dr. Sellers takes us into the real challenge: leading in the age of AI. With case studies and research, he shows that emotional intelligence isn’t soft—it’s essential. This book demands reflection and action. You won’t read it without rethinking how you lead and shape future leaders in a rapidly changing world..”

    Dr. Nigel Paine, Author of The Great Reset: Unlocking the Power of Organizational Learning, and WORKPLACE LEARNING
