New Podcast Episode: Told to use AI. Never told how.

Published 10 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Most leaders feel behind on AI because they can’t keep up. Charlene Li says that’s the wrong problem to solve.

Charlene spent three decades advising the world’s largest companies through three separate technology revolutions. Her position: technology without a problem is a more complicated problem; not a solution. She delivers a tremendous amount of wisdom in her conversation and I was taking copious notes.

In this episode of Leadership Unlocked:

Why “use AI” is a leadership problem before it’s a technology problem
What AI fluency actually is, and why capable leaders underrate their own
The one move in your next meeting that gives your team permission to lean in

Know a leader stuck in the noise? Send it their way.

Once you listen, hit reply and tell me what problem would you point AI at first?

P.S. The line that stuck with me about learning AI: “It’s a practice, not perfection. You can’t master something that keeps changing.”

It will be published next spring and it’s titled Ancient Intelligence, and this episode is...

The goal was to disconnect. The outcome was deep restoration.

Hey Reader, Last weekend my wife and I checked off a bucket list trip. We went out to the Gorge in Washington and watched our favorite band, the Dave Matthews Band, play three nights in a row. It was the first time in a long time I'd taken three fully disconnected days. I know it's not good. I tell leaders to take deep time away, and for a couple of years I'd been telling myself it just wasn't the season for it. When you love what you do, you can spend almost every waking minute thinking...

Waiting until you're ready is an expensive choice

Hey Reader, Most leaders hit their wall while everything still looks fine from the outside. That's what makes it dangerous. Marshall Goldsmith put a name on this back in 2007, and many of us still subscribe to his answer. What Got You Here Won't Get You There says success builds habits, those habits harden, and the fix is subtraction. Twenty behaviors to drop. He's right that the habits are real. For many of us, we need to go one layer deeper. You're not failing. The job changed. Your wall...
