[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=250997&nl=daily
to use it, where not to, and why strategy still wins. by Bharat N.
Anand and Andy Wu

The questions about generative AI that we hear most often from
business leaders include: When will gen AI match the intelligence of
my best employees? Is it accurate enough to deliver business value? Is
my CIO moving fast enough to lead our AI transformation? What are my
rivals doing with gen AI? But those questions are misdirected. They
focus on the intelligence of gen AI and its trajectory—how good gen
AI is and how fast it’s improving—rather than on its implications
for business strategy. What leaders should be asking is this: How can
my organization use gen AI effectively today, regardless of its
limitations? And how can we use it to create a competitive advantage?

While authenticity is linked to higher self-esteem and well-being, it
does not necessarily translate into perceptions of leadership
competence or effectiveness. In fact, research shows that impression
management--adjusting your behavior to meet situational demands and
gratify others--can make you seem more authentic and trustworthy,
whereas strict adherence to your "authentic self" can actually be
perceived as inauthentic. This article outlines nine key tradeoffs
leaders can make to ensure they are balancing their own sense of
authenticity with how they come across in their organizations and on
their teams.
