New Book, Mind Your Self: How Leaders Can Integrate AI Without Disintegrating Humans, Reveals How to Lead in an AI era

Everyone is talking about what AI can do, and what it is doing to the world. But what is AI doing to people? And what does that mean for the leaders who are steering their businesses and communities through this immense change?

The new book, Mind Your Self: How leaders can integrate AI without disintegrating humans (Rethink Press), written by founder of Yellowrattle Collective, coach, and consultant, Katie Muldoon, explores the supreme paradox emerging from the application of AI: the best application of it relies on partnership between AI and the most advanced, innately human traits: creativity, deep thought, embodiment, and relational skill. But early indications show that using AI can erode the very skills needed from the human side of the partnership. How can leaders of all stripes harness the advantage of AI, without corroding the human brilliance on which it relies?

Drawing on a decade of leading at the edge in her military service, a decade of working in tech and innovation, and her psychoanalytic training, Muldoon offers an incisive diagnosis of the impact AI risks having on the workforce, alongside practical strategies on how to lead in a way that preserves the human capability that will truly give AI-supported organisations the edge.

Her insight into human development, what is required of leaders, and how tech is being integrated in organisations brings a powerful and unique perspective on how to navigate a moment of immense possibility and peril. Mind Your Self: How leaders can integrate AI without disintegrating humans is an invitation and a provocation for readers to think differently and clearly about AI and their organisation – offering a map on how to lead in an AI era and how to act now to give readers and their organisation a defining edge.

This urgent and engaging read will help individuals to preserve their essential human advantage alongside AI integration. Whether a business leader, an educator, a technologist or simply keen to work wisely with AI, Muldoon offers actionable tools and a framework for thinking about the greatest tech disruption of our time, whilst always putting humans at the centre.
