About the Book
A Breakthrough for Human-Centered Leadership
In just 5 to 8 years, AI-native operating models will become the competitive baseline. Will those systems value, protect, and nurture people? Not unless we intervene.
Bill Jensen and his coauthors detail two essential frameworks:
- The Bill of Human Rights for the AI Era, focused on the workforce
- The Human Capital Operating System, to guide leaders in implementing human-centered AI structures
Coauthors: Malisha Awunor, Vivienne Ming, Anish Padinjaroote, and Nadeesha Wijesingha

Key Takeaways
- AI is reshaping power, not just productivity — often invisibly
- Human rights must be intentionally built into systems, decisions, and leadership behaviors

Pre-Summit Podcast Series
Three-Part Series
Exploring the ideas in Humanity: Leading the Powershift. Episodes released in May and June as part of the pre-summit journey.
Podcast 1
Powershift / Agency
Hosted by Bill Jensen and Malisha Awunor
Facilitated by Rosie Corvo
“Who’s gaining and who’s losing power because of AI?”
We explore how AI is reshaping how decisions are made and who gets to influence them inside organizations — not just through big moments, but through everyday tools and systems.
As you listen, reflect: In your organization today, who is AI actually increasing agency for — and who is it quietly stripping agency from?
Podcast 2
Human + AI Partnerships
Hosted by Bill Jensen and Jenny Bates Heaton
Facilitated by Rosie Corvo
“Have you figured out what people can do that machines can’t?”
In this episode, we explore more deeply what this means in the world of work. How will this reshape HR and talent practices? How is data being used for performance and/or development? How is this an opportunity and threat for humans in work?
As you listen, reflect: What is changing in your work world? How can you help organizations balance the need for business sustainability and human growth and sustainability?
Podcast 3
How You Create Long-Term Value
“Three years from now: What impact will you have in how people leapt into the AI Era?”
Coming SoonThis Is the Moment You Step Forward
You didn’t step into leadership for easy answers. You stepped in because you care what happens next.
You feel the tension—between innovation and integrity, speed and wisdom, progress and people. You carry responsibility for decisions that affect real lives, not just metrics. And somewhere along the way, you realized that values-based leadership isn’t a “nice to have” anymore—it’s the difference between steady leadership and silent erosion.
You’re not looking to abandon intelligence for tradition. And you’re not willing to trade wisdom for efficiency. You want fluency in modern intelligence without losing your center.
If reactive leadership models no longer fit—and you’re ready for something more grounded, more integrated, more human—this summit isn’t asking you to become someone new.
It’s inviting you to lead from who you already are.
This space was built for you.
The 2026 Summit advances conscious leadership for a rapidly changing world by exploring the multiple intelligences (human, emotional, technological, and ethical) required to lead with wisdom today. Rooted in values and built for transformation, this summit strengthens the integration of your deepest principles, your evolving intelligence, and the realities of this new era into a cooperative operating system for leadership.
