For years, leaders advanced by outperforming others, knowing more, producing more, delivering more. Performance earned authority. That equation has changed.

As AI expands what leaders can produce, something else is becoming clear. The leaders who stand out are not the ones with the most information. They are the ones w
In an article a couple of weeks ago, I argued that the failure of enterprise AI was not really about enthusiasm, adoption, or even model capability.
