Beyond Words: “Don’t Be Afraid to Remove Those Who Hinder Decision-Making”
Bjørn Gulden, CEO of Adidas, attributes a significant part of the company’s recovery to eliminating a culture of dissent that obstructs execution. Leaders need criticism, but an organization cannot move forward if rejection becomes an end in itself.
“Change the Culture When the Scale of Risk Changes”
Mark Chen, Chief Research Officer at OpenAI, says that the rapid advancement of AI capabilities has necessitated an internal reset focused more heavily on safety and on training models to distinguish between ideas worth pursuing and those that are not.
“View AI as a Research Tool, Not an Answer Machine”
James Dewar, a researcher and science writer, suggests treating every query sent to AI like a scientific experiment: formulate the question, observe the result, and then verify it rather than accepting it automatically.
