Listen "The Rise of the Supermanager: Leadership Transformation in the AI Era, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD"
Episode Synopsis
Abstract: This article examines the emerging role of the "Supermanager" in contemporary organizations facing rapid technological change. As artificial intelligence transforms business processes, traditional management approaches focused on supervision have become insufficient to drive organizational performance. Drawing on research across multiple industries, this analysis defines the Supermanager paradigm, explores its prevalence and drivers, and details its impact on organizational and individual outcomes. The evidence suggests that Supermanagers—characterized by their ability to empower teams, foster experimentation, and drive innovation from the bottom up—are creating significant competitive advantages. Organizations seeking to thrive in the AI era must develop leadership capabilities that emphasize coaching over commanding, learning over directing, and innovation over maintenance. This article provides evidence-based strategies for cultivating Supermanagers and building long-term organizational resilience in an increasingly AI-enabled business landscape.
