Sara reframes AI as a “chief of staff” that helps leaders organize information, surface insights, and create capacity when decision demands keep growing. She also outlines five principles leaders can apply immediately, including prompting with clarity, solving real problems, focusing on small repeatable wins, strengthening relationships, and cultivating decision confidence. Sara also reflects on how these ideas connect to real innovation shifts over time, and why the opportunity with AI is often less about replacing expertise and more about supporting better thinking alongside it.
