AI APPLIED

I recently asked AI a simple but uncomfortable question: What criticism do you have for me as a leader?

The response was thoughtful, specific — and a little too accurate.

So I decided to share it with my team right after I had displayed one of the shortcomings it had just identified — over-explaining. They laughed. More than once. Not because it was off base, but because it was so on point.

There were no big surprises in what surfaced. But hearing those patterns clearly named, without fluff or hesitation, struck me differently and led me to act. It’s one thing to sense your tendencies. It’s another thing to see them put into words.

Artificial intelligence can be more than a productivity tool. It can be a surprisingly effective leadership mirror.
