Summary
The higher up you go, the more everyone expects you to have the answers. Your team wants reassurance about AI. Your peers want to know what other companies are doing. Leadership wants confidence you're not sure you have. But what if the honest answer to most of it is, "I don't know?" and what if that's actually a sign you're paying closer attention than the people who seem so sure? In this Ask Us Anything, Rodney and Sam respond to a listener feeling the weight of expectations and offer a reframe: you don't need certainty about the what if you can develop confidence in the how. They also dig into why the leaders who always seem to have answers rarely get their receipts checked, and Rodney shares a personal practice for tuning into the quieter, wiser voice underneath the noise of emotion and intellect. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization?
