Call it energy, drive, or ambition – they have something they are after. Think of those in sports. Michael Jordan and Andre Agassi had a drive all their lives to do what they do. They love it, work at it hard, and have a passion for their game. But true also of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. In fact, find a happy and fulfilled person and you will find passion.
These are just some of the ideas Dale Callahan talks about in his new book “Company of One”, due out this Fall.
What’s something you’d love to get paid to do, but you keep telling yourself it’s too late, too impractical, or just doesn’t fit the career you’ve built?
Maybe you have the salary. You have the title. People depend on you. And there’s still something you’d like to try, even if you aren’t sure what it is.
AI was supposed to save us time. It can write in seconds what once took an hour, summarize a meeting almost instantly, and produce a first draft before we could have gathered the source material ourselves.
Yet many people are not working less. They are producing more, responding faster, supervising more output, and ending the day more exhausted.
The problem is not that AI failed to increase productivity. The problem is that productivity and freedom are not the same thing.
Now organizations are getting flatter. Teams are getting smaller. AI is increasing what individuals can produce. Leaders are still needed, but more organizations expect them to lead and contribute
