Are we ready?

“…there is a pervasive unconscious bias in the U.S., in the form of a ‘distinctly American disease’ that seems to equate extreme wealth and the power that comes with it, with virtue and intelligence.” (from Bryan Gardiner’s review of Marietje Schake’s The Tech Coup.)

4. Q&A

[In Call 5 Mike briefly mentioned 9 AI generated “Take-aways” from the book, How To Live An Extraordinary Life, by Anthony Pompliano. Gary felt Mike should have gone into more detail as to why those 9 “Take-Aways” don’t match the “LeadU Way”. We spent some time and made a video explaining in greater detail the differences. You may visit HERE to read more about it. On that page are links to the video, audio, and full transcript of the recording.]

“…business leaders should focus on opportunities for risk-adjusted value creation. They should consider tailoring their growth strategies, core business operations, technology stacks, talent footprints, capital asset portfolios, and organizational capabilities with an eye toward thriving and not just surviving.”

How:
•Double (TRIPLE)-check sources, data, and assumptions.

•Think outside the box to generate new, innovative solutions.

How:
