Don Fisher

The rules of leadership just changed. Did anyone tell you?John Burns has spent his career doing everything right. He leads with experience, earns respect the hard way, and delivers results. But when artificial intelligence begins reshaping the organization around him, John realizes the skills that made him successful may no longer be enough, and the managers who refuse to adapt will be the last of their kind.
The Last Manager is a story about what happens when the most experienced person in the room is no longer the most informed one. Through John's story, this book delivers a candid, honest look at the seismic shift AI is creating across every industry, from the factory floor to the corner office, from small businesses to global enterprises. No sector is untouched. No leader is exempt. Don Fisher doesn't just identify the problem, he built the answer.
The Catalytic Leadership Framework - (Conscience, Curator, Connector, Catalyst) - is a practical, proven Leadership model designed specifically for the AI era. No buzzwords. No recycled theory. A four-pillar system that gives leaders and managers a clear, actionable path to not just survive the shift, but lead through it with confidence. If you've ever wondered whether your experience still matters in an AI-driven workplace, this book was written for you.
It does. But only if you're willing to evolve. The question isn't whether AI is coming. It's whether you're willing to adapt and thrive.
