Greetings Decision Maker,
A dangerous narrative is taking hold in boardrooms across the country, a story of effortless, overnight transformation powered by artificial intelligence. It is a seductive mirage shimmering in the desert of corporate ambition, promising untold riches and seamless automation from a technology that is still in its turbulent adolescence. This story sells a future that is as intoxicating as it is illusory, and it threatens to poison the well for everyone investing in this powerful new capability.
This mirage is sold with breathless enthusiasm by reports such as McKinsey’s recent playbook, “Seizing the Agentic AI Advantage.” The article paints a dazzling picture of autonomous AI “agents” that will seamlessly orchestrate your entire business, delivering returns in under a year and creating exponential value. Yet this vision, while directionally fascinating for the distant future, is perilously disconnected from the messy reality of 2025. This level of hype is not just optimistic; it is actively harmful, setting the stage for a brutal crash into the trough of disillusionment that could undermine the real, tangible benefits of AI for years to come.

“We received a very insightful, engaging presentation from Dr. Gleb Tsipursky on avoiding disasters in the HR and Payroll professions. I think our members will take away a lot of great skills to apply every day at their jobs including how to avoid payroll errors, how to manage pre-mortem discussions and how important they are, especially if we are having major projects, and many many more skills. I think they also like the fact that we had plenty of resources to take with us, including his book and additional resources that were provided during his presentation, as well as the great exercises that we did today as part of the seminar.”
- Dana Chambers, Senior Payroll Manager at Wells Fargo |

Today I'm traveling home to Columbus, Ohio, after a vacation in Washington. My wife and I started our trip by spending a few days on Whidbey Island, as I shared last week, and then we drove to Olympic National Park to explore its diverse landscapes. We walked along the rugged beaches and took in breathtaking mountain views, but for me the most memorable landscape was the temperate rainforest. Walking among the moss-covered 200-foot-tall conifers made me think that these giants have lived for centuries without striving or worrying or planning. They reminded me that sometimes it's okay to simply "be" instead of constantly trying to "do."
