Accomplished leadership consultant Nick Chatrath offers a revolutionary framework for how leaders in all kinds of organizations can adapt to the new age of technology, like ChatGPT—the Age of AI— by leaning into the qualities and skills that make us uniquely human. For readers of Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century and Max Tegmark's Life 3.0, The Threshold is a bold new way to think about human, emotionally intelligent leadership right now as we stand at the threshold of AI superintelligence.


We are living in a new age: the Age of AI. With developments emerging every day, Artificial Intelligence will soon surpass most human competencies, and as a result drastically transform technology's role in our day-to-day world. The solution for organizational leaders is not to become more like computers. In order for our organizations to survive as we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must tap into the qualities that make us uniquely human.


In the face of increasingly intelligent technology, old models of leadership are becoming obsolete. In The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI, accomplished leadership consultant Nick Chatrath interweaves an analysis of antiquated leadership models—the ones that leave AI-Era organizations exposed and ineffective with colleagues frustrated, unmotivated, and burnt-out—with his newly developed strategies for more effective "threshold" leadership methods. Supported with anecdotes, research, and a practical toolkit, The Threshold demonstrates that adaptive, effective organizations can be built with human, emotional intelligence: cultivating stillness, nurturing independent thinking, finding rhythms of rest and performance, and raising leadership consciousness. With a basis in the ideas and practices that have shaped our organizations in the past, The Threshold illuminates how accessing advanced stages of human development can be both competitive and harmonious with AI's growing insinuation into our working world.

      A corporate coach examines the qualities needed for leaders in the AI era. The premise is undeniably interesting: The development and spread of AI systems requires a radical change in corporate leadership strategy. However, Chatrath, a former McKinsey consultant, misses an opportunity to break new ground. While he presents some colorful ideas, the text never finds a real nexus between leadership style and AI. The author spends most of the book setting up a model for leadership in 2023; key elements include cultivated stillness, independent thinking, embodied intelligence, and mature consciousness. All of these concepts are useful, but Chatrath doesn't provide fresh insights. If the author had espoused this philosophy in the era of command-and-control management, it would have been radical, but today, the business section is packed with books about the importance of self-awareness and emotional connections. As for the "threshold" of AI emerging, that point occurred quite a few years ago. Chatrath offers a few intriguing anecdotes about AI, but there is a distinct lack of detailed analysis on how AI affects business--even though there are enough businesses who have integrated AI into their operations to constitute a wide-ranging research base. The author looks at the limitations of AI, especially in making complex, layered decisions, but he never delves deeply into the actual process of how human leaders should decide whether and when to overrule AI proposals. He discusses the difference between true wisdom and the manipulation of mountains of data, noting that leaders are most effective when they find social purpose in themselves and their companies--something that AI systems cannot do. However, most readers with an interest in the intersection of business and tech have heard these arguments before. The result is a book full of feel-good sentiment that is short on useful advice. AI and leadership is an important field, but Chatrath fails to makes the necessary connections.
