Now you are responsible for an AI operation, and the playbook does not exist yet. \u003cb\u003eYour team is a mix of humans and AI agents.\u003c\/b\u003e Expectations are real. The margin for error is shrinking by the quarter.\u003cbr\u003eMost AI leadership books stop at strategy slides and executive summaries. This one starts where you actually are: in the middle of an organization that has already bet on AI and needs a leader who can scale it with discipline, not just enthusiasm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside this book, readers will learn how to: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild and run a Five-Team AI Operating Model that scales AI strategy from a single function to an organization-wide capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitect hybrid teams of humans and AI agents with clear roles, accountability structures, and escalation paths that hold under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign an Agentic Operating System covering orchestration, tool use, memory, evaluation loops, and guardrails that keep agentic AI reliable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarn trust from both your team and your AI systems through structured practices for transparency, feedback, and governance alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign humans and agents around shared goals and measurable outcomes, reducing variance and eliminating shadow AI adoption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead the agentic step-change: diagnose AI readiness, sequence AI adoption intelligently, and manage the human side of the transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply responsible AI leadership by identifying which decisions must remain with humans and building governance structures that protect that boundary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablish AI governance as a leadership discipline and translate policy into operating behavior your teams can act on every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a future-ready AI leadership mindset with a reusable decision toolkit and the organizational trust that sustains continued AI investment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe cost of getting this wrong is measurable. Shadow AI adoption spreads when teams do not trust the official tools. Model drift and governance gaps erode the outputs your stakeholders are counting on. AI initiatives ship without guardrails, and the organization learns the hard way. Talented engineers disengage when a director cannot articulate a coherent AI operating model. None of this is inevitable with the right frameworks.\u003cbr\u003eThe gap between a manager who understands AI and a leader who can scale it organization-wide is not a technical gap. It is a leadership gap, and bridging it requires competencies that most organizations have never formally defined.\u003cbr\u003eThis book builds those competencies through a realistic healthcare SaaS scenario. Using a five-team AI operating model and field-tested director-level frameworks, you will architect hybrid human-agent teams, design agentic operating systems with evaluation and guardrail layers, and lead AI transformation across an entire organization. The frameworks are practical, the vocabulary is precise, and the progression is deliberate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the book for directors and senior managers who are done waiting for a framework that fits the complexity they are living. Whether you lead an AI operations function, an AI center of excellence, or a team that ships AI-powered products, this volume gives you the operating model, the governance discipline, and the leadership vocabulary to become a consequential AI leader.\u003cbr\u003eVolume II builds on the foundations of Volume I and goes further and more operationally specific. If you are serious about scaling AI strategy and building an AI organization that performs with consistency rather than just in demos, get the book today.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883289395351,"sku":"9798259047396","price":1692.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798259047396.webp?v=1781100867","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ai-leadership-for-modern-managers-build-trust-align-teams-and-lead-responsibly-in-the-age-of-agentic-ai-9798259047396","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
