It allowed him to follow up in writing in a way that spoked to those different cultures.

The higher up in the organization you are. The bigger your organization is. The more mastery you have (The stuff only you can do) the bigger the opportunity is for you to commandeer AI to have significant impact.

We’re all just learning how to use AI and what it means for the future of work.

We need those with the most amount of experience and have the most amount of reasonability to lead those in your charge through this era.

What problem could AI help you with that you’re overlooking?
