The Conductor's Imperative: What the New Era of AI Means for Executive Leaders
There is a revealing piece of recent research making its way through leadership circles. When AI systems are given distinct roles, organizational structure, and defined responsibilities within a team, they consistently outperform AI systems that operate without that structure.
