We were promised that AI would free us from the repetitive tasks that consume our working lives. So why do so many leaders feel busier than ever? The answer isn't that AI has failed to deliver. The answer is that we've misunderstood what productivity actually means. This edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP argues the case that productivity does not equal progress. Technology may create capacity, but Leadership decides what happens to it.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is... nothing. This edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP talks about why this could mean everything.

AI is remarkably good at helping us think. It's also remarkably good at helping us avoid thinking. The difference between those two outcomes often has very little to do with AI, and everything to do with us. This edition of Stealing Back® LEADERSHIP was intended to explore the very human quality of confirmation bias and how this can be so easily amplified by AI but, as I wrote, I think I stumbled upon something much bigger: the illusion of objectivity.
