The BEST way to use AI. Is … collaborate!

Working alongside executives across industries, I have seen AI make the biggest impact when leaders treat it as a thinking partner rather than a solo problem-solver. Collaboration unlocks perspective: people bring context, judgment, and empathy, while AI rapidly surfaces patterns, options, and drafts that keep the team moving.

Start by framing questions together, clarifying the outcome you want, and iterating transparently so everyone can see how insights evolve. When teams narrate their reasoning, cross-check AI’s suggestions, and decide on the next best move together, they build confidence in both the technology and their own instincts.

Leading this collaboration is about setting clear guardrails, rewarding responsible experimentation, and making time to reflect on what the tools are teaching you. The result is a culture where AI augments your curiosity, accelerates strategic work, and helps you deliver smarter decisions with less friction.
