Being an effective leader is difficult, right? You gotta keep your ego in check, you gotta know how your business works, how the team operates for peak effectiveness. But most leaders are making decisions about their team's based on assumptions and not reality. And that's exactly the problem that today's sponsor scribe was built to fix.
Scribe Optimize passively captures how your team works across approved business apps, and it uses AI to automatically surface workflows, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities. No interviews, no manual discovery, no extra work for your team. Scribe is trusted by 80,000 plus enterprises, including nearly half of the Fortune 500. Scribe Optimize follows work across every tool involved.
If someone starts something that sales force and finishes it in a completely different tool, it tracks it the whole way. And Optimize shows you where your biggest inefficiencies are with AI-powered recommendations on how to fix them so you're not just identifying problems, you're getting clear directions on how to improve. The kind of visibility that used to take months now is always on. And Optimize only works on applications your admin improves, so no personal activity is captured and no one's privacy is at risk.

We don't control that they abuse power. We don't control that they cheat on their spouses. We don't control that they attack or persecute. We don't control that they spread misinformation.
But we certainly control whether we do those things or rather that we don't do those things. Alexander Solzhenitsyn lived through terrible tyranny and he refused to let it corrupt him.

Our credo must be left to lie, come into the world, he said, let it even triumph, but not through me. This is Cato during the last days of the Republic. This is Rutilius and Musonius and Agrippenus as they face down the power of the state. This is Stockdale and a Hanhoye Hilton.
It can also be us in this moment, whatever the future holds. We must resist the moral inversion that celebrates selfishness and rewards dishonesty. We must resist the cultural forces that encourage cruelty that degrade truth. We must stand firm, unyielding in our refusal to compromise on what we know is right.
We do this personally, and sisten on what's right, by acting right, by living with virtues. Others will do what they will. We will not. Hey Ontario, are you waiting for the next paycheck?
