Abstract

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have inspired businesses and researchers to identify new ways in which AI can improve our way of life. One such quest lies in giving AIs complex human capabilities - like leadership. We take the first step towards that goal and propose a pattern-based approach to leadership. We argue that leadership best practices are actually a series of mini interventions each of which results in a consistent and desired response from the followers. When codified, these repeatable interventions can serve as foundational blocks for AI algorithms. To this end, we introduce LeadLets: A pattern language that codifies named, scripted, and repeatable leadership techniques that have a predictable influence causing a purposeful effect on one or more individuals. We argue that a pattern-based approach such as LeadLets can create leadership templates that inform programing leadership behavior into AI artifacts and designing leaders development programs.
