Overview
We are in a “Potential Crisis” Leaders are trapped in outdated approaches to human development because AI has fundamentally changed what skills matter.
In his groundbreaking new book, renowned self-leadership expert Andrew Bryant delivers a roadmap to understanding and unleashing human potential in an age of AI.
The book centers on a six-element IGNITE framework for systematic human development:
- INSPIRE: Find your spark and take control of your story
- GUIDE: Navigate with wisdom through mentorship and feedback
- NURTURE: Create conditions for growth through belief and belonging
- INTEGRATE: Combine human intelligence with AI capabilities
- TRANSFORM: Turn challenges into catalysts for development
- EVALUATE: Sustain and scale impact through continuous learning
Your potential multiplies when you unlock it in others. In an age of artificial intelligence, our greatest opportunity isn't competing with machines but amplifying what makes us uniquely human: our capacity for wisdom, compassion, creativity, and the ability to inspire others to excellence.
The book is rich with inspiring stories and interviews from businesspeople, Olympic athletes, thought leaders, and mentors that drive home the understanding of the concepts.
