LID Publishing announces the publication of: Lead with AI. stay human – How modern leaders orchestrate enterprise value, By Peter Wheeley, AI Transformation Strategist. The book is published on 26 March 2026 (UK) and 28 April 2026 (US).
Artificial intelligence is reshaping organizations at an unprecedented pace. While AI systems evolve every day, leadership models remain anchored in outdated assumptions about competence, authority, and control.
In the AI age, knowing more is no longer enough.
In Lead with AI. stay humanWheelie argues that the leaders who succeed are not those who possess the most answers, but those who can orchestrate judgments, beliefs, learning and technology across increasingly complex systems.
“AI doesn’t replace leadership — it reveals it,” says wheelie. “The question is no longer who has the best skills, but who can combine human and machine intelligence to create value under pressure.”
Based on decades of experience advising global organizations on transformation, Wheeley identifies four essentials Power of the conductor For Modern Leadership:
- Judgment under ambiguity – Knowing when to pause and when to speed up, maintaining coherence even when certainty disappears.
- Trust stewardship – Scaling transparency, psychological safety, and accountability beyond the direct reach of the leader.
- Adaptive learning – Designing systems where the velocity of learning exceeds the velocity of change.
- Enterprise Orchestration – Aligning direction, decisions and values across boundaries so that context travels with insight.
At the heart of the book is the SPAR Framework — a practical developmental paradigm for building these capabilities at scale:
- strengthen Identify your leadership
- partner With AI as a strategic sparring partner
- expand Team power through systemic trust and learning
- Resize Organization for adaptive flow
Rather than treating AI as a tool, Whealy reframes it as a leadership launching point – one that demands increased judgment and greater humanity.
