The Five-Year Century: Mastering Accelerated Outcomes in the Age of AI and Bold Leadership

An accessible survival guide that shows leaders how to build cultures of trust and productivity in a changing world

The Five-Year Century: Bold Leadership and Accelerated Outcomes in the Age of AI is an incisive wake-up call that shows you what’s holding you back from transformative change, and how you can break down those barriers to achieve unprecedented results. Written for a world that’s experiencing demographic collapse and stagnant productivity, this book addresses the adapt-or-die situation that many organizations are facing today. Written by Silicon Valley veterans Mihir Shukla and Nancy Hauge, it combines irreverent storytelling with battle-tested frameworks for surviving turbulent times and coming out on top, ready for a new, tech-enabled future.

Inside, you’ll discover four key myths that prevent organizations from harnessing the potential of AI—incremental change, human exceptionalism, hierarchical management, and technology servitude. The Five-Year Century busts each one, showing you through vivid case studies how you can work with technology to build resilient, human-centered workplaces that will continue to achieve results, no matter what comes next.

• Uncover the reasons behind workforce shortages, struggling corporate cultures, and stagnant business results
• Lead through digital transformations and culture shifts to create human-centered workplaces
• Learn how AI implementations can empower people to achieve more by enhancing resilience and adaptability
• See how forward-thinking organizations around the world are breaking free from old, industrial mindsets—and how you can too

This isn't another book about the philosophy of AI—it’s an actionable resource for transforming demographic and economic pressures into catalysts for meaningful legacies beyond the boardroom.
