AI Doesn't Fix Bad Leadership. It Amplifies It.
from SightShift with Chris McAlister · host Chris McAlister
AI doesn't make you a better leader. It makes you a louder version of the leader you already are. In this episode, Chris and Mark walk through the framework at the heart of the new book The 3% Shift — the three human capacities AI can imitate but never replace: Imagination — AI optimizes what exists; it can't picture the unseen reality worth leading toward. Discernment — hard-fought wisdom that knows the territory, not just the map. Relationship — AI remembers every mistake. Only a human can forgive one. You'll hear why chasing AI as a shortcut quietly trains it to amplify your insecurities, and how to use it to sharpen your thinking instead of outsourcing it. If you lead a team and feel the pull to let the tool do your thinking, this one's for you.
