Greetings Decision Maker,
A recent WRITER and Workplace Intelligence survey of 2,400 employees and C-suite leaders captured the mood with unusual bluntness: 60% of companies say they plan to lay off employees who will not adopt AI, 77% of executives say AI resisters will be passed over for promotions, and 92% say they are actively cultivating an "AI elite" class of workers who are, according to 87% of executives, at least five times more productive than their peers. Yet that pressure is running well ahead of organizational readiness: McKinsey's research finds that almost all companies are investing in AI while only 1% describe themselves as mature in how they use it. A widely cited NBER paper on customer support found AI assistance raised productivity by 14% on average, with even larger gains for less experienced workers, but that evidence should make companies more careful, not more reckless, since AI amplifies good management rather than replacing it. Leaders should train people, pick workflows that matter, measure real outcomes, and build governance before a security incident forces the issue.

What's Up With Me
On the road of life, remember to stop and smell the flowers, especially when there are bees on them. Well, you might want to wait until the bee leaves the flower. I thought of that when I saw this bee on my maypop vine flower. First of all, the flower itself is unusually pretty, it appears like a tropical flower despite the fact that my backyard is in Columbus, Ohio - glad maypops can grow here. Second, the bee somehow triggered my cuteness meter. I’m usually not so swayed by cuteness, my wife and business partner Agnes is typically more influenced by it. But something about this bee in this flower struck me. So enjoy some cuteness today. |
