#WorkSmarterNotHarder4: Your Perspective Shapes Your Leadership—And Your AI Tools

We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
— Anaïs Nin

The way you see people—as a leader, board member, partner, father, son, or friend—reflects who you are. Approach others with openness, respect, curiosity, and wisdom, and every encounter becomes a lesson, an opportunity, or a gift. Shift your perspective, and you’ll shift your life. The same principle applies to AI tools in leadership. AI doesn’t think—it mirrors. Just as we interpret reality through our own experiences and biases, AI tools like ChatGPT generate responses based on the questions we ask. If guided strategically, they expand thinking, challenge assumptions, and uncover blind spots. The sharper the question, the sharper the insight. The broader the perspective, the greater the possibilities. AI isn’t a substitute for human judgment—it’s a catalyst for breakthrough thinking. Used correctly, it can help leaders and board members reframe challenges, uncover new insights, and make better decisions. The key? Don’t expect AI to deliver truth on its own. Use it as a dynamic lens—one that shifts based on how you shape the conversation. 🚀 In business, leadership, and innovation, the quality of your questions determines the breakthroughs you create.
