As a professional who has been working with Generative AI since March, I found the HBR Guide to Generative AI for Managers to be an exceptional roadmap for managers navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape. it's the best book I've read on Generative AI, demonstrating how it can reshape business practices and leadership approaches.
The book's most compelling strength lies in its practical approach to generative AI. Unlike other texts in the field, this guide offers concrete, immediately applicable strategies for using AI as both a copilot and a co-thinker. I've used AI as co-pilot but not so much as co-thinker.
Strategically structured into four primary sections—Managing Yourself, Managing Teams, Managing Business, and Managing Change—each section offers detailed explorations of AI as a copilot and co-thinker, with specific, actionable examples that managers can immediately implement. It doesn't just present the technology as a tool, but as a collaborative partner that can enhance productivity, drive innovation, and support strategic decision-making.
The core message is compelling: managers who develop generative AI capabilities will leap ahead of those who don't. I'm particularly excited to implement strategies from the "Managing Yourself" and "Managing Teams" sections in my own professional context.
The HBR Guide to Generative AI for Managers is more than a book; it's a strategic compass for leaders looking to harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence. Whether you're a tech-savvy manager or someone just beginning to explore AI's potential, this book offers invaluable insights that can fundamentally reshape your approach to work. This isn't just recommended reading—it's essential.
A big thank you to Harvard Business Review Press and NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
