Leadership expert Emmanuel Gobillot argues in an essay, ahead of his Jan. 22, 2026 book release, that leaders should embrace 'radical humanity' rather than machine-like certainty as AI tools pervade organizations. He outlines five practical actions — showing reasoning, admitting ignorance, pausing under pressure, prioritizing ethics, and cultivating presence — arguing these traits sustain trust and culture amid automation.
