This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer.

Nick Chatrath interweaves an analysis of antiquated leadership modes with his newly developed strategies for more effective "threshold" leadership methods.
