What Can Judo Teach Us About Leading Change? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Bill Gates’s proposal to protect certain human roles as AI becomes more capable. While I share his concern for humanity, I argued that we should be using AI’s momentum to create a better future, rather than trying to hold it back.After publishing the article, I realized that the same principle applies to much of the organizational change I’ve spent my career helping companies navigate. Leaders often fight forces that could actually help them achie
How Do We Keep AI From Becoming a HAL Nightmare? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If the recent stories about AI agents breaking into systems and deleting data bring HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey to mind, I understand why.

Faster launches. Faster transformation. Faster everything.And often, faster is the right move.But there are moments when speed starts to feel less like leadership and more like pressure. The decision is moving, but the meaning is not clear. People are nodding, but the concerns are still there. The plan can
Is Bill Gates’ AI Vision Too Nearsighted? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if protecting humanity from AI is actually too small an ambition?Bill Gates recently published an important note about how we should navigate the rapid advance of AI. He warns about job displacement, inequality, weakened human relationships, and declining human capabilities—and argues that we need to make deliberate choices about the future AI creates.He gets a lot right. His idea of Human Reserved, for instance, argues that just because AI can do something does not mean we should automatic
