I’ve found myself wrestling with the difference between judgment and what sits on the edges of our awareness. That distinction matters more than we often realize.
When it comes to growing as leaders, I’ve noticed that the blind spots that trip us up are usually the ones we’re convinced we’ve already handled. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with AI—not to do the work for me, but to challenge my thinking. Treating AI like a sparring partner helps me see where my assumptions need work. It doesn’t take away my responsibility as a leader. If anything, it pushes me to get clearer about what really matters.
I’m grateful for this fresh way of looking at collaboration. It reminds me that real partnership is about sharpening each other, not just agreeing.
I really like “sparring partner”, Keith. It keeps the authority in the right place. AI can challenge the assumption, expose the blind spot and make me defend what I think. But ... it doesn’t get the final say. Used that way, I’m finding it strengthens judgement rather than replacing it.
Spot on, Jamie! That distinction is everything. AI is great at holding up the mirror and pointing out the gaps, but discernment, wisdom, and the final call still belong entirely to us. Glad the concept resonated!
