Rowdy McLean's 6-week leadership accelerator focuses on influence, recognition, and professional advancement beyond automation

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries at record pace, global leadership expert Rowdy McLean today announced the launch of a new program that challenges a critical assumption: that AI can replace human leadership mentorship. His 6-week accelerator is designed to prove why authentic mentorship remains the ultimate driver of executive growth and organizational success.

 

 

AI's impact on the C-suite is undeniable. A survey by edX and Workplace Intelligence revealed that 49% of CEOs believe most or all of their responsibilities could eventually be replaced by AI. Adding to the concern, Mo Gawdat, former Google X executive, has predicted a "job apocalypse" by 2027, with Artificial General Intelligence outperforming humans even in executive roles.

Yet, McLean argues that leadership cannot be reduced to algorithms. "AI is a powerful tool, but it can't listen, challenge, or inspire in the way a great leadership mentor can," says McLean. "I've built a program that shows why human mentorship will always be the ultimate career accelerator."

McLean's Leadership Accelerator Program offers a structured, 6-week path to build trust, authority, executive presence, and professional recognition without years of trial, error, or burnout. Designed for executives and high-potential leaders, the program focuses on cultivating influence, decision-making confidence, and career advancement strategies that AI cannot replicate.

The launch comes at a pivotal time for industries worldwide, where organizations are simultaneously harnessing AI efficiencies and re-examining the irreplaceable role of human leadership. McLean's program equips leaders to leverage AI as a support tool while safeguarding the mentorship, empathy, and vision that drive long-term success.
