"Make Room For Pauses: Extroverts quickly jump in on a discussion and offer ideas. However, leaders need to take steps to ensure that pauses are inserted into discussions, creating opportunities for others to offer their ideas and get noticed. Be intentional about creating pauses."

"What separates good advisors from great advisors (particularly in the executive, legal, and risk worlds) isn’t just how fast they can get to an answer; it’s about knowing what to ask, why it matters, and how to turn that answer into something valuable."

"The best professionals will not just process data faster; they will ask better questions, challenge assumptions and leverage AI to uncover deeper insights. In professions where expertise, nuance and strategic thinking define success, AI isn’t a replacement—it’s a force multiplier."

"In the rush to make quick decisions, we have lost something fundamental: the value of experience. As I outlined in my previous article, Leading With Curiosity In An AI-Enabled World, a lack of experience can result in shallow decisions that clients don’t value, and therefore resist paying for. Still, today, the default measure of value in professional services is the billable hour, a unit of effort, not value. We need to change how the billable hour is perceived."

"Ask Key Questions: Companies often focus on AI to drive efficiency. While this can yield results, they sometimes overlook the crucial step of challenging why each task or step is done. Spending any time or resources to execute 32 steps when 11 would achieve the same outcome is still inefficient, even if the task is automated or AI-assisted. Start by questioning and refining processes to ensure you maximize the ultimate value."

"Prompting Decision Makers To Ask The Right Questions: We have more information at our fingertips than ever before, with AI accelerating our access to it. But information alone isn’t wisdom. The real value AI offers isn’t just providing answers—it’s prompting leaders to ask the right questions. AI can guide leaders to the pivotal questions that enable them to make informed, forward-thinking decisions with their teams."

"In a world where every minute counts, taking what may feel like the long way around can seem illogical. It makes leveraging AI for quick and easy answers very tempting. So, how do you reconcile the pressures for efficiency and fast answers with the need for strategic solutions based on wisdom?

Focus on the value you give clients, not the amount of time spent. Build teams willing to question, explore and engage deeply with information to uncover insights that cannot be seen on the surface. By fostering a culture of curiosity, leaders enhance their decision-making and empower their teams to achieve extraordinary results. Transform information into wisdom and strategy into action."
