They are less willing to sit in meetings that could have been an email, less likely to give a blind yes…

He waged a war of attrition. He understood that maintaining a major force on foreign soil is a major logistical disadvantage. I have warned, that Iran is waging a war…
The emergence of AI in corporate life has made almost every professional question what their role will look like—or whether it will even be there—in the next few years. For now, senior leaders may be more insulated from disruption than less experienced colleagues, whose work often involves tasks (from creating marketing plans to analyzing data to writing code) that AI can effectively automate. But that delayed impact shouldn’t be taken as permission to simply keep doing the same thing. Given the predicted exponential gains in AI capabilities, it’s logical that many elements of a top leader’s own job will eventually…
