EI for the Age of AI: How to Lead With the Three Emotional Advantages That Machines Cannot Replicate

EI for the Age of AI is a practical leadership manual for thriving in a machine-driven world. In this concise, high-impact guide, psychologist and executive coach Slayman Abou-Hamdan argues that emotional intelligence is now the most valuable competitive advantage in modern leadership. Built on neuroscience, trauma-informed psychology, and real-world executive coaching, the book introduces two core frameworks—the 3Cs Framework™ (Clarity, Courage, Connection) and the Zone Management System™—designed to help leaders regulate stress, sharpen judgement, and lead confidently through digital disruption. Written for professionals who cannot afford vagueness, this book equips executives, managers, consultants, founders, and high performers with practical tools to sustain focus, build trust, and remain deeply human in an increasingly automated world.
