📨 Weekly digest: 34 2025 | What happens to leadership when answers are instant?
Intro: a three-part series on leadership in the AI era
👋🏻 Hello, legends, and welcome to the weekly digest for week 34 of 2025.
AI is fundamentally changing the nature of leadership. As it automates tasks and provides instant answers, the emphasis shifts from technical execution to strategic intention. Leaders must now focus on asking the right questions, not just getting things done.
This series of blog posts will explore this profound transformation, offering a practical framework for leaders to adapt and thrive.
We'll examine three key areas where AI is redefining the leadership landscape and how you can prepare for a future where answers are a commodity, but judgment is a superpower.
Part 1: The bottleneck is shifting
The first post, "Beyond the algorithm," explores how the speed and efficiency of AI have made execution less of a bottleneck.
We’ll dive into why a leader's true value now lies in defining the "what" and "why," not just the "how."
The post will help you develop the clarity of thought needed to lead in this new era.
Part 2: The enduring value of technical intuition
The second post, "Beyond the output," challenges the notion that technical skills are becoming obsolete.
We'll argue that while you don't need to be an expert coder, a basic technical intuition is more important than ever.
This understanding allows you to critically evaluate AI-generated information, identify potential biases, and ask more insightful questions.
It's about being an informed navigator, not just a passive passenger.
Part 3: The imperative of human oversight
The final post in the series, "Beyond the machine," focuses on the critical need for human skepticism and oversight. AI can get things wrong, and its "hallucinations" can be dangerously convincing.
We'll discuss why leaders must cultivate a culture of critical thinking and accountability, ensuring that AI-driven insights are treated as a starting point, not the final word.
The future of leadership isn't about blindly trusting the machine; it's about intelligently guiding it.
Yael.
