WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.040 Welcome to Mindful Leadership Transforming lives with your hosts saying, 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:06.440 this is where leadership meets purpose. 3 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.480 Presence, and passion. In today's fast paced, high pressure world, 4 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.759 we face a leadership crisis. Too often, teams are led 5 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:18.839 by managers who lack empathy, clarity, and vision, leaving individuals uninspired, disconnected, 6 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:19.839 and underwelue. 7 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.519 But it doesn't have to be this way. Great leadership 8 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.359 isn't born. It's bill the endgame. Empower your leadership, inspire 9 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.600 the world. Every week join me, you're host saying, as 10 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.320 we tackle the gaps in leadership and life coaching head 11 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:37.719 on learning how mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and compassion can redefine success. 12 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.200 This isn't just another podcast. 13 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.200 It's a mission to fill the void left by in 14 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.159 effective leadership. 15 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.560 And it's not just about leadership and business. 16 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.320 Life coaching for leaders and new executives is at heart 17 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.399 of this journey. Ready to rise above the noise and 18 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.920 lead with clarity, purpose, and impact. Join a global movement 19 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.920 dedicated to reshaping the future of leadership, one mindful moment 20 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.599 at a time. Let's begin a sort of mindful leadership 21 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:09.519 podcast on the transformachine net. The podcast where we turn 22 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:15.519 stress into strategy, overthinking into clarity, and overwhelm into momentum. 23 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.560 I'm as saying the leadership coach who has spent this 24 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.560 last one year watching brilliant people get their hands on 25 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.760 the most powerful tools in human history, and somehow end 26 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.640 up more tied, not less, more tired. So for something, 27 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.959 want put the phone face down where it can't see, 28 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.799 where you can't see it lighter, and let's spend next 29 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.319 twenty eight minutes on that exact paradox. I want to 30 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.280 open with a picture, and I want you to tell me, 31 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.799 honestly whether you have been standing inside it. A leader 32 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.680 called Prayer invites me to look at her setup. She's 33 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.799 proud she should be ninety eight tools, dashboards, glow automations 34 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.879 that at fire at six in the morning, because she 35 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.680 away a prompt library, a second brain, a third brain, 36 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.120 apparently because the second one got full. She walks me 37 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.960 through it like a pilot showing off a cockpit. Then 38 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:18.479 one summarizes my meetings, this one drops my emails, this 39 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.759 one watches my competitors, this one talks to that one too, 40 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.879 And when she finishes, I ask her one question, just 41 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:35.520 one prier, what did any of it actually change? And 42 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.599 then she opens her mouth and nothing comes out. Because 43 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.599 the honest answer, the one she finally gives me quietly 44 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.120 thirty second later, is I don't actually know. I am 45 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.639 definitely busier, I'm faster, but I couldn't tell you what 46 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.479 of it changed busy. It has never looked so much 47 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.599 like prosk And that that gap between motion and meaning 48 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.360 is the most expensive gap in business right now, because 49 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.240 we all just got handed the same gift and almost 50 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.240 nobody was taught how to hold it. And Prea is 51 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.039 not rare. She is the media. I meet people every 52 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.639 week paying five, six, seven AI subscriptions, and when I 53 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.280 asked them, which one drove a single measurable result last month, 54 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.439 I get the same price the pace of someone who 55 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.199 just realized they have been collecting tools the way some 56 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.159 of us collect gym memberships. We confuse owning the tool 57 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.719 with getting the result. We confused access with advantage, and 58 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.599 the machine blessed it perfectly happy to let us keep 59 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.599 confusing them. At sixty dollars a month, sixty dollars a month, 60 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.159 sixty dollars a month year is what I have come 61 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.840 to believe, after little over a year of these conversations, 62 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.199 we did not get an intelligence upgrade. This year, we 63 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.960 got a speed of date. And there is a world 64 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:20.079 of difference between the See speed is now free, it's ambient. 65 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.040 Your competitors has it, Your in turn has it. The 66 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.120 person who has never led anything in their life has 67 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.879 the speed. Everyone on earth just God handed a Ferrari. 68 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.199 And what I keep noticing that almost nobody has handed 69 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.600 is a man. So we have got millions of people 70 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.120 dragging faster than they have ever driven, in every direction 71 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.759 at once, mistaking the speed for the protest. Let me 72 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.040 give you the number that stopped me code. Depending on 73 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.199 which study you read, fewer than seven percent of organizations 74 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.800 are actually ready to use AI web seven percent. And 75 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.759 when I dug into what ready means, here's the thing. 76 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.959 It was almost never about technology. It was always never 77 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.759 about technology. That technology is sitting right there, cheap and willing. 78 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.040 Readiness turned out to be clarity program wearing a technology costume. 79 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.600 Seven percent were not the ones with the best tools. 80 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.160 They were the ones who knew what they're actually trying 81 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.920 to do before they touched and reached for the toolbox. 82 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:43.079 Because when the machine can do almost anything instantly, the 83 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.360 only thing that separates one leader from another is a 84 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:53.240 very old, very human set of questions. What is worth doing? 85 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.360 What should stay human? And what about the state of 86 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.079 mind I am in When I decide, the leaders who 87 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:07.480 can answer those don't need more tooths. The leaders who 88 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.000 cannot will drown in them faster every quarter. So today 89 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.560 begins a brand new set of this podcast and calling 90 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.040 it the Conscious Operator. And over the next ten weeks 91 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.399 we are going to walk straight into the most anxious 92 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.279 room in modern leadership, the room where AI meets the 93 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.879 actual human being trying to lead, and we are going 94 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:35.079 to find a comment not by using AI, but using consciously. See, 95 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.360 our conscious operator is not leader with most tooths. It 96 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.759 is the leader who stays the human in the loop, 97 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.079 who uses the machine for leverage and keeps the wisdom 98 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.720 for themselves. And the whole set rests on one framework, 99 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.959 one word, and that word, as always on this show, 100 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.600 is the whole point human say human, because when the 101 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:07.199 machine can do anything, your humanity is the whole advantage. 102 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.519 The five letters five moves halt understand mard the line, 103 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:21.680 apply lever and never outsource yourself. Understand mark the line, 104 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.120 apply the leverage and never outsource your type five moss 105 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.839 that turn you from someone who is operated by the 106 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.560 tools into someone who consciously operates. There, let me walk 107 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.560 you through it the way it actually reads. At am 108 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.319 on a Tuesday morning, when the machine is faster than you, 109 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.720 and the temptation is to just let the machine try. Now, 110 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.720 before the first letter, I need to name the thing 111 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.319 underneath all of this, because if you miss it, the 112 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.199 framework won't lack right. So there are two ways to 113 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.959 operate in the age of AAR, and the trap is 114 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.879 not knowing which one you are in. The first is 115 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.319 the reactive operator. The reactive operator opens the tool first, 116 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.720 ask the potion second, and then let the machine set 117 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.079 the pace, set the agenda, and quietly set the standard. 118 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:19.759 They're fast, genuinely and impressively fast. And if you ask 119 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.879 them what they produced this week, they will show you 120 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:30.920 are mounted, and then what it was for, and that 121 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.080 mountain gets really quiet. That was free a nine tooths, 122 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.679 a mountain of output and no matter. But the second 123 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.039 is the conscious operator. Same tooths, same speed available, but 124 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.679 the conscious operator sets the direction before they touched the accelerator. 125 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.759 They know what's there to think about and what's the 126 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.919 machines to handle. They come out of the week faster 127 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.559 because of the machine, but trusted because of themselves. See, 128 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.200 the difference between them is not talent, and it is 129 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:09.639 definitely not today. It is five small moves, reputable middle 130 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.919 of a loud week, and let me take you through them. 131 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.799 And before I do, and before I do, let me 132 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.600 answer the objection. I can already hear some of this 133 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.200 forming because I've heard this saying. This sounds like you're 134 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:26.279 telling me to slow down. My competitors are shipping at 135 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.720 machine steep speed. I don't have time to hold and 136 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.960 journal a little sentence to myself. Friends, I hear you, 137 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.879 and I want you to be preciser, because this is 138 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.679 exact place. Leaders get it wrong. I'm not asking you 139 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.759 to slow. I'm asking you to be deliberate, which is 140 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:51.320 competitively different. Slow is a leader who takes three days 141 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.039 to answer two minute quotion. Deliberate is the leader who 142 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.000 takes sixty seconds to make sure the two minute answer 143 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.440 is aimed at the right time. See, the conscious operator 144 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.759 is not slow, and they are not reactive over a quarter. 145 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.799 They are dramatically faster because they are constantly cleaning up 146 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.840 the confident garbage that speed without direction to use. So 147 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.759 you're not choosing between fast and thoughtful. You're choosing between 148 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:29.080 fast and aimed and fast and lost. Only one of 149 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.720 those will compound. And you know what, So the first 150 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.960 letter hot and it is the move that when you skip, 151 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:41.639 makes every other move impossible. You cannot operate consciously at 152 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.799 the speed of a machine that never blinks. Ayah has 153 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.879 no nervous system to settle, no ego to check, no choosing. 154 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.440 It is already ready to go, and its readiness is 155 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:57.759 contagious right. It puts you into its tempo until you're 156 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.960 making human decisions at machine speed, which is exactly how 157 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.639 you end up with nine tools and no idea. What 158 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:10.919 change see to hoard is to put a deliberate gap 159 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.559 between the impulse and the two before you open the tab, 160 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.519 before you fire the prom before you let the automation 161 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.360 run your morning, a gap just long enough for the 162 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.519 human to catch up to the machine. Here I my 163 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.440 Randal experiment, and it was almost insulting the symbol. For 164 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.039 thirty days before she opened a single AI tool, she 165 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.039 took sixty seconds I call it operators check, and answered 166 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.960 the three questions to herself, What state am I in 167 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:52.159 right now? What am I actually trying to produce and 168 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.360 what if the vicest version of me we are sitting here, 169 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.200 what would she want to reach for sixty seconds? No 170 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.039 tool and till the sentence was that by week two 171 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.240 she had turned off four of the nine tools, not 172 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.360 because they were bad, but because she finally noticed their 173 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.679 answering questions she had never actually asked before. She told 174 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:21.360 me the strangest thing had happened. She was doing less 175 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.840 for the first time in a year, and she could 176 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:28.679 tell exactly what it changed. So, friends, practice for h 177 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.799 is this, before you open your next AI tool, the 178 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.799 very next one today, thirty seconds and write one line 179 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.519 you will never show anyone right now, I am blank, 180 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.559 and what I actually want from this is blank, no line, 181 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.200 not two because a machine that has to breathe with 182 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.639 happily talk you out of every breathing again, right, So 183 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.879 that takes a suita. Next one is the return you 184 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.399 to understand. So this is that decides whether the next 185 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:10.519 hour is thinking or next or just very fast typing. 186 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.480 Here is a number of haunt number that haunts me. 187 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.639 Roughly sixty percent of people I meet are using the 188 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.320 most cubisticated reasoning tool ever built. The way they use 189 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.879 a search box type of question, grab the first hands 190 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.559 and move on. They got a thinking partner and they're 191 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.320 using it like a phone book. Right, So let me 192 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.919 show you the difference, because it is the whole ball game. 193 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.120 Two leaders saying to same Tuesday. The first one opens, 194 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.879 write me a marketing plan. Four seconds of effort, and 195 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.639 the machine gives them exactly what that question deserves, right, 196 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.840 a bit confident, generic slab of nothing. The second leader 197 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.679 spends four minutes. First they tell the machine who the 198 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:04.240 customer actually is, what they have already tired, what they 199 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.200 have afraid of, what will they absolutely not do? And 200 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.240 then this is the part almost nobody does they hand 201 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:18.240 the machine it's non negotiables. Never recommend discounting, Never assume 202 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.240 a budget we don't have. If you're not sure, say 203 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.120 so instead of inventing, same tool, and what comes back 204 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.600 is a sharp enough to use for your first conversation. See, 205 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:34.159 the difference was never the AI, it was a human. 206 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.279 You understand the real question before they asked it. I 207 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.440 coached a founder, Jama Right, who was drowning in AA 208 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.399 generated strategy report tex analysis, all of it producing minutes, 209 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.399 none of it landed, So I asked him what decision 210 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.320 he was actually trying to make. He went quite and 211 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.000 then he said, honestly, I'm trying to decide whether I 212 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.519 still trust my own judgment or whether I'm hoping the 213 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.159 machine will hand aspire. You see, that was not a 214 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.240 strategy question. No prompt on Earth was going to answer it. 215 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.639 But the second he named the real one, the right 216 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.679 use of the tool became obvious, and so did the 217 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.799 part he needed to keep himself. So the practice for 218 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.320 understanding is this before your next real trot right, the 219 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:29.360 honest decision underneath it in one sentence, starting with the 220 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:34.159 words what I am actually trying to decide? Then and 221 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.000 then only give the machine the context and non negotiables. 222 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.840 The quality of your answer will never exceed the quality 223 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:47.639 of a question you're brave enough to ask, understand, because 224 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:52.000 a search for question gets you a search box answer, 225 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.519 no matter how brilliant. The machine on the other end 226 00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:00.279 is right. The third letter mark the line, and this 227 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.639 is the letter that keeps you from handling the machine. 228 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.440 The one thing that was never its too hold. Every 229 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.240 task in front of you has a line running through it. 230 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.120 On one side is the work that should go to 231 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.799 the machine. The summarizing the drafting the aggregating, the reduplicating, 232 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.120 the talaciputation that you know you used to etio tuesdays. 233 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.200 On the other side is the work that absolutely must 234 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:30.320 say human, the judgment, the relationship, the values called the 235 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.440 moment where someone needs to know of person was actually 236 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:41.120 on the other side. See the conscious operator draws that 237 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:48.200 line on purpose every time, the reactive operator lets the 238 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.960 machine erase it. Let it setter. The conscious operator draws 239 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.159 that line on purpose every time, and the reactive operator 240 00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:01.200 lets the machine erase that line. Let me tell you 241 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.200 about another leader. David good Man, fast operator, a key 242 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.440 client send an upset email, a real one, a relationship 243 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.599 on the edge, and David, being efficient, had the machine 244 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:19.079 write the email. It was technically a perfect amon, empathetic sounding, 245 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:24.079 wealth structured grammatatically flawless. He sent it in ninety seconds 246 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.759 and felt productor. The client wrote back to one line, David, 247 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.400 did you even read what I said? Or did a 248 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:37.359 robot answer me? See the machine hadn't made a mistake, 249 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.799 David had He had handed the machine a piece of 250 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.559 work that lived on the human side of the line, 251 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.119 a moment where the entire point was that a person 252 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.880 cared enough to sit with it. The drafting could have 253 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.960 been the machines, but the caring had to be his 254 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.920 and noticed. David did not need to do less with 255 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.359 aar He needed to draw the line before he used it, 256 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.079 not after. The machine could have drafted a version for 257 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.880 him to rewrite in his own voice. It could have 258 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.240 organized his thoughts. It could have caught the three typos 259 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.400 he always makes when he's upset. Right, All of that 260 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.640 is machine side. The one thing it could not do 261 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:25.000 was be the person the client needed to hear from. 262 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.400 That was David's, and he gave it away without noticing 263 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.680 it was his right. So the practice for him. Take 264 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.480 one task on your play today. Draw the line straight, 265 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:42.000 through it out loud, and say, this part goes to machine, 266 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:46.920 this part stays with me. If you cannot find a 267 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.920 part that stays with you, look harder, because that is 268 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:54.559 usually the part that matter. Right, So mark the line, 269 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:58.240 because the fastest way to lose the trust you spell 270 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.079 ears building is to let machine spend it for you. 271 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:07.200 In ninety seconds. Now, the next one is applied a 272 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:13.319 leverage I'll put here on purpose because I don't want 273 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.759 you to hear the whole episode as be afraid of 274 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.480 the machine. No, this is not the message. The message is, 275 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.319 once you have drawn the line, use the machine boldly 276 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.680 on its side of it, because there is a second failure, 277 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.359 move right, and it is quiteter than toolstrawl. It is 278 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:35.759 leaders who is so conscious, so precious about doing everything themselves, 279 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:40.119 that they keep using supercomputer like a notepad. They halt 280 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:45.359 the beautifully, they understand the question, They mark the line, 281 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.720 and then on the machine side of the line, they 282 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.960 timidly ask it to fix a tip. That's not conscious, 283 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.079 that's just slow and extra steps. I course a solo 284 00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:00.720 planier runner, an author, consultant, one person noteam. She was 285 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.000 doing everything by hand out of kind of a pride. 286 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.480 Once she drew the line clearly, she handed the machine 287 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.480 everything on its side to do it. The first charts 288 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.640 the research synthesis, the repurposing of one talk into ten pieces. 289 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.599 The admin that used to eat turn days same forty hours, 290 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.519 roughly ten times the output on machine side. And here's 291 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.920 the part. She did expect. She got more human and 292 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:32.279 less right. She did expect, But she got more human 293 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.039 because all the hours the machine gave back she poured 294 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.160 into the two things only she could do, the actual 295 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.720 thinking and the actual relationship. That is the whole trait. 296 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.440 You delegate the machines work fully so you can invest 297 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:53.160 the humans work deeply. Leverage on one side buys presents 298 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:58.759 on the other side. So the practice of a name 299 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.759 one thing you're still doing by hand that lives entirely 300 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.240 on the machine side of the line, and this way 301 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:10.039 hand it over completely, not half completely. Then take time 302 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.119 to the gifts back and spend it on one thing 303 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:20.920 only you can do because being human work human is wisner, 304 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.240 but doing machine work by hand is march down with 305 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.319 a to do list. So the fifth one never outsource 306 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.440 the core. So I believe this is the one I 307 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.119 want to carry out of here. If you forgot the 308 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.319 other four right, there is a small, non negotiable core 309 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.079 of your leadership that must never ever go to a machine, 310 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.279 no matter how good it is, And that is your judgment, 311 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.960 your values, the final call, and your purpose. There isn't 312 00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:58.359 any of these things exist in the first place. The 313 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.799 machine can inform all of it that it can never 314 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.240 own any of it. And here's the truth from the 315 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:09.079 frontier that should reorganize how some of you think about 316 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:11.599 your whole strategy. The names, the frameworks, the club or 317 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.240 the solutions a machine generates for you know, broadly speaking, 318 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.319 you can't own there. You can't trademark them. Neither can 319 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.920 anyone else, Which means if your entire mote is a 320 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.319 thing a machine can generate, you don't have a vote anymore. 321 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:31.079 You have a puddle that the next person can generate too. 322 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:38.240 So what is actually yours? What is uncopyable? It is 323 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:43.799 the same trat list every time. Your judgment, your trust, 324 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.039 the trust you have earned, the relationships. Only you are 325 00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.160 inside of the story. Only you have left, and your 326 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.920 purpose the specific reason you, not a machine, are the 327 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.519 one holding the pendent, the leader. This this, this was, 328 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:05.200 this was interesting to Marcus. He learned this hard way. 329 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.920 He let a He let a model make a call 330 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.240 that a model should have never made a decision about 331 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.559 a person, dress up as a decision about data. The 332 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.759 model was confident, articulate. It was wrong in the in 333 00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.799 the one way a machine always is wrong. It had 334 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.799 no skin, no steak, and no soul. In the outcome, 335 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.240 Marcus had all three, and he had handed the pen 336 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.440 to one party in the room that had never none 337 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:36.880 of them had that. And that's the machine. And here's 338 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.519 a here's a here's here's a trap. Right, here's a 339 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:44.200 trap in it, the one I wanted to see clearly, right, 340 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.720 this is this is interesting. The machine did not seize 341 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.880 that decision from Mars he offered it because the model 342 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.400 was so fluent, so far, so sure of itself, that 343 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:57.160 letting it decide felt like efficiency instead of what it 344 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.680 actually was. An application. That is how the code gets outsourced, 345 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:06.119 not in one dramatic moment where you hand over judgment, 346 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.599 but in one hundred small tuesdays, where the machine's confidence 347 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:17.720 is just a little more convenient than you own responsibility. 348 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.720 So friends guard the code on the small days, and 349 00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.319 the big days take care of themselves. So the practice 350 00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:26.559 will end. Is this, write down your short list, the 351 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.759 handful of things. If you are if a leadership that 352 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.839 you will never outsource your machine, no matter how convenient 353 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:38.000 it becomes. Judgment values the final call your purpose. Right, 354 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.920 Keep the list somewhere you will see it, because the 355 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:46.240 day machine offers to take any one of them, your 356 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.759 hands will not feel like a threat. It will feel 357 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.920 like a favor. That's exactly why you write the list, right. 358 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:57.240 So let me bring back to prea because I owe 359 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.920 you the end of the story. Nine tools, mountain of output, 360 00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.319 no idea what any of it changed. That was where 361 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.839 she started. We didn't add a single tool. We just 362 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.519 ran human atm an. She started halting sixty seconds before 363 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.359 she touched anything. She started understanding the rear question underneath 364 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.279 the prompt. She mounted the line on every task, she 365 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.480 applied the leverage boldly on machine side, and she never 366 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:26.240 outsourced the four things she finally named as hers. Six 367 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.400 months later, she told me she had cut her stack 368 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.960 from nine tools to three. Her output didn't drop, it sharpened, 369 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.640 And for the first time in years, when I asked 370 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:38.440 her what work has changed, she didn't go quiet. She 371 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:42.240 has less a real one, same industry, same hours, same 372 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.839 machine summing in the background, different human at the peak. 373 00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.599 So you don't need a better tool, you need to 374 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.240 be a better operator of one you have already got. 375 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.880 So now here's the thing. Every letter in human gets 376 00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.000 sharper when you actually know what you're operating from. Because 377 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.640 most of you don't have a technology problem. You have 378 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:09.480 a clarity problem. You don't know precisely what energizes you, 379 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:12.559 what drains you, or what you were uniquely put here 380 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:18.839 to two And every never outsourced list is just guessing 381 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.160 is nicer clothes until you can name your own purpose precision. 382 00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.319 That's why I want you to take the purpose fact Assessment. 383 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.160 It's a three twenty five minute science back diagnosed sate 384 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.079 that shows you three things, what truly drives you, what 385 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.079 consistently drains you, and the blind spots your team feels 386 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.559 but you don't see. Once you have that, the whole 387 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.279 framework changes because you're no longer operating from the fall. 388 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.759 You're operating from your own core. The one thing no 389 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.279 machine will ever generate so orsinadas this is the new era. 390 00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.359 Won't be the ones with the most tooths, they will 391 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.920 be the one the dead. Leaders in this era will 392 00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.720 be the ones who stayed human at the week, who 393 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.000 use the machine for everything it is good at, and 394 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:06.319 kept for themselves the handful of things machines should never do. 395 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:09.119 So this week, hope before you click, understand the real 396 00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.200 potion marg the line, apply the leverage and never ever 397 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:16.480 outsourced report if just landed, share it with one leader 398 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.920 who's drowning in tools and starving for clarity, and take 399 00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.400 the Purple fact fact assessment. Your next step in this 400 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.559 show notes, thank you for spending time with me. Keep breathing, 401 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.079
