This article analyzes the metamorphosis of organizational leadership structures under the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It argues that the shift from hierarchical authority to algorithm-mediated decision-making requires a new form of leadership legitimacy grounded in strategic curation, ethical judgment, and cultural intelligence. The study introduces the concept of strategic curation of algorithmic authority, in which leaders move from being primary decision-holders to mediators between algorithmic outputs and human, cultural, and organizational contexts. The research challenges the universality of transformational leadership models by proposing an integrative framework that connects adaptive leadership, algorithmic governance, and multicultural sensitivity within human-machine collaboration.
