**A Next Big Idea Club MUST-READ for September 2026; a Porchlight BEST NEW BUSINESS BOOK**

From the bestselling author of How to Have a Good Day, a powerful argument for developing the human strengths that will be vital for leading effectively in the age of AI.

In times of great change, great leadership is crucial--and our current times are no exception. Today, along with the demands that leaders have always faced--balancing short-term progress with long-term planning; delivering strong results without burning people out--we're also in an era of major technological disruption. As that change accelerates, the instinct to lean hard into AI can feel more urgent than anything else.

But the best leaders know better. As AI capabilities become more universal, the leaders who stand out won't be those who only use technology well--it will be those who can also draw out and develop the best of the human intelligence on their teams, by maximizing distinctly human strengths like critical thinking and interpersonal insight.

In Leadership Intelligence, economist and former McKinsey partner Caroline Webb shows readers how to rise to this challenge. Rooted in fresh insights from behavioral science, and brought to life by the personal stories of accomplished senior leaders, the book provides an integrated system of new frameworks and tools for mastering common workplace situations.

Built around three key strengths of an effective leader--making wise choices, inspiring people to perform at their best, and building resilience to ups and downs--Webb distills her decades of work advising senior executives into concrete guidance on 21 critical topics, including:

  • How to make difficult decisions and tradeoffs
  • How to strengthen team collaboration
  • How to lead through uncertainty and upheaval
  • How to give feedback that drives action
  • and many more

Written in a clear, engaging style that makes it both useful and enjoyable, Leadership Intelligence is a powerful playbook that readers will return to as their roles and responsibilities grow--today and into whatever the next era holds.
