  • What Leading 30 Volunteers Taught Me About Leading AI Transformation

    There’s a leadership test that no MBA program teaches and no certification covers: Try getting 30 unpaid volunteers to follow a complex operational process. On their own time. With no budget. No authority. No consequences for walking away. If that sounds impossible, it’s actually the purest form of leadership that exists. And it has more…

  • The Most Dangerous Thing About AI Isn’t That It’s Wrong. It’s That It’s Convincingly Incomplete.

    A few weeks ago, something happened that should have been routine.
