"Computational leadership science (CLS) is a paradigm shift designed to fundamentally improve all aspects of leadership by using simulations, network analysis, AI, and other computational approaches. It is at the intersection of trailblazing science and technology, well-established leadership research, and invaluable knowledge gleaned from practice. Given this broad improvement in leadership, CLS will reduce most pains. For example, CLS will strengthening interpersonal relationships and morale in the era of remote working, increase DEI by separating a leader's biased wants from their actual needs in hiring and promotion, mitigate fragile, 'just in time' supply chains, and help corner the market on complexity with the power of quantum computing the so-called 'quantum advantage.'"-- Provided by publisher.
