Blind trust in AI is the new illiteracy, and it can undermine leaders before they realize the damage has started. Leadership has always required the ability to distinguish between what appears true and what is actually true. That responsibility has not changed in this age of AI. What has changed is the speed and polish […]
A lot of people are noticing something is off. I know because I receive several comments about it every week. Not just disappointed or frustrated with politics. But genuinely unmoored. The extremes are louder. The center is weaker. The people in charge seem to have lost the plot entirely. And nobody’s actually listening to anyone […]
I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase “take full accountability.” And I’m sure we’ve all seen it used as a weapon rather than a standard. In my line of work, I often see someone own their mistake honestly, name what they did, explain the effect it had, and commit to doing better. Then, out of […]
There is a very good chance that your education (and media) holds that Alexander Hamilton was a hero of the founding generation. For the Federalists who shared his vision, he was exactly that: the architect of American finance, the mind behind a functioning treasury, the man who gave a fragile confederation credit and standing. That […]
So, the fireworks are over. The yard is littered with cardboard and plastic fragments. The flags are still up, the cookouts are winding down, and the phrase ‘land of the free‘ has been repeated enough times over the past few days to feel like something between a national anthem and a reflex. Don’t get me […]
The debate over whether individuals without children should contribute to the cost of education has been around for generations. Some argue that it is unfair to impose taxes on individuals who do not directly benefit from the system. Others argue that it is a civic duty that supports the common good. Unfortunately, the disagreement is […]
In my opinion, history is most often misread through modern lenses. It’s sad, really. People judge the past as if those who lived it had the same knowledge, lifespan, and psychological development that we enjoy today. That approach distorts everything, particularly when discussing subjects such as gender, leadership, sexism, and equality. What is often treated […]
Let’s talk about the dangers of AI Monitoring. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being deployed to address organizational security risks. AI systems now monitor networks, scan communications, flag anomalies, score behaviors, and populate dashboards that promise real-time visibility. The prevailing assumption is that more monitoring produces greater awareness, which in turn leads to increased security. While […]
Red Car Theory has become something of a fixture in coaching circles, sales training programs, and personal development seminars. The premise is rather straightforward and, on its surface, somewhat compelling. The idea is that once you decide to buy a red car, you begin noticing red cars everywhere. Of course, they were always there. You […]
I think that most conversations about performance evaluation miss the point entirely. We build rubrics, conduct 360-degree reviews, track KPIs, and still walk away unable to answer the most basic question: is this person actually doing their job? Well, the reason the answer is so elusive is not that we lack data. It is that […]
