Today, we face countless opportunities and threats from artificial intelligence. The HR models require new changes in this new era of AI disruptions. This has been combined due to operational risk management. The reason is that identifying problems and providing solutions to senior managers is not enough today. Leaders also need to be able to offer and execute solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has placed leaders in what is known as a dual role. In this article, I examine the challenges of the current HR models and provide an alternative way for large consulting companies and medium to small organizations to re-emerge with sustenance. Taking advantage of these opportunities and avoiding the growing threats of artificial intelligence requires adopting a new approach to HR. This new approach considers 'people' as one of the pillars of success and increases effectiveness in the era of artificial intelligence. I call this new HR approach the AI-powered HR approach. Much of what I share in this article comes from my interviews with 81 senior executives in Australia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates., Unfortunately, the current HR models have been immune to change for years. The inertia that managers have been trying to debunk has hit home. The current HR models have worked [...]

The theory of the managerial grid, a model of dimensions among styles of leadership, (Van De Vliert and Kabonoff, 1990; Asrar-ul-Haq and Anwar, 2018; Cai, Fink and Walker, 2019) was employed to measure the leadership styles of adjunct business faculty at an AACSB university in the State of Florida. Forty-five adjunct faculty members of business administration completed a survey measuring leadership style. Findings of this study indicate strong empirical support that gender had no effect on leadership style and that the more experience the adjunct faculty member had the higher the concern for people and concern for production. Gender, while not empirically investigated is only stated as a corollary of the group studied. Some universities have more women than men on their organizational chart and this is strongly encouraged. The university setting is moving toward more diversity, more equity, and more inclusion. We feel that is an important improvement for both organizations and universities as equality becomes a cultural, and important, norm. The paper concludes with a discussion of potential implications for management education. This paper may be of interest to administrators, adjunct faculty, and those interested in further study of management education and change., Introduction The number of adjunct-faculty has increased due to the proliferation of distance learning and adult-oriented undergraduate programs (O'Dell, 1998; Strasser, 2019; Burleigh, Steele and Gwitira. 2021). In 1993, 42 [...]
