Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it an indispensable tool for organizations, transforming how leaders make decisions and promising to revolutionize team dynamics. Despite the growing importance of AI at the organizational leadership level, there is a lack of reliable scientific research on how it will change current leadership practices. To address this gap, this study conducted expert interviews with 10 IT companies in Pakistan to better understand how AI impacts organizational leadership. The findings suggest that AI will bring about significant changes in leadership practices, including shifting towards intelligent approaches, making leaders tech-savvy, expanding human capabilities, learning and unlearning traditional managerial competencies, fostering AI-congruent leadership characteristics, benchmarking sustainability, and coaching leaders for the future. AI fundamentally alters how leaders make decisions and holds the potential of transforming future team dynamics. These findings have important implications for the future of organizational leadership practices and research.
