SYDNEY - s4story -- Artificial intelligence is set to reshape the global economy, but a new report warns that unless leaders take an authentic, strengths-based approach, AI-driven transformation could erode trust, damage communities, and harm future generations.

Perth based author, business advisor, and facilitator Kimmaree Thompson has launched Leading Authentically in the Age of AI: A Strengths-Based Framework for Peak Performance & Purposeful Flow, a groundbreaking Executive Briefing and framework that equips leaders with the tools and mindset to navigate AI and automation responsibly.

"AI isn't just another tool—it's a force multiplier," Thompson said. "It gives leaders unprecedented power to monitor, automate, and influence. But if we repeat the mistakes of the past, such as the Robodebt crisis, we risk amplifying harm at an unimaginable scale. The choice for leaders now is clear: use AI to strengthen trust, or risk destroying it."

The 39-page report weaves together research from Positive Psychology, organisational change, and digital transformation. At its core this is a three-part framework designed to help leaders thrive in globally uncertain times:

• Self – Authentic Presence: grounding leadership in values, strengths, and flow.
• Teams – Strengths-Based Practice: building psychological safety, trust, and collaboration.
• Systems – Values-Aligned Impact: designing ethical, transparent, and contextually relevant solutions that work for local communities.

The report also contrasts Corporate Leadership, Local Business Leadership, and Sustainable Leadership approaches, highlighting the need for resilience, regenerative practices, and trust-based networks in regional and community-led economies.

"This is not the time for transactional, short-term leadership," Thompson argues. "The Age of AI demands leaders who can balance performance with purpose, speed with integrity, and innovation with humanity."
