‘Adah brings a holistic view of thinking about and approaching AI. Anyone whose work touches AI needs to be conscious of how they are making decisions and what they are feeding into the AI systems. The intersectionality of the issues we face in the climate and environment extend to this new frontier—nothing exists in a silo. The question that Adah poses “What type of ancestor do you want to be?” is a similar one to the bigger question that we are all asking ourselves right now, that is “How do we leave behind a better planet for generations to come?”.’ KAREN GRAY, Editorial Operations Director of Atmos magazine An exciting and inspiring new approach to responsible leadership that incorporates environmental stewardship and the value of our fellow global citizens Leadership Legacy presents an insightful exploration of how technology intertwines with the natural elements—ether, air, fire, earth, water—to form a digital symbiosis that shapes our present and future. Each chapter features interviews alongside personal reflections. This creates a semi-autobiographical narrative that uncovers Adah’s thought processes and analysis. It shows how these aspects influence our digital presence and spur innovation. Adah introduces “Cyborg Shamanism,” a philosophy that merges technology and nature, combining Indigenous, traditional, and technological perspectives to address critical economic and environmental challenges. Advocating for mindful engagement with technology, she underscores the importance of respecting individual and shared heritages, fostering a regenerative future. The book sparks dialogue on legacy, authenticity, and the need for essential voices often overlooked. Adah’s approach emphasises our interconnected and interdependent relationship with the planet, inspiring leadership that values environmental stewardship and global collaboration. Essential for business leaders, technologists, activists, and environmentalists, Leadership Legacy offers a fresh perspective on responsible innovation and leadership in shaping a better future. An essential new vision for leaders of all stripes seeking to navigate their responsibility to the planet and their fellow global citizens.
