MENGENAI EPISOD INI
What happens when technology moves faster than judgment? In this conversation, Dan T. Rogers sits down with Amy Bruske to explore what it means to lead when AI, software, and complexity are constantly accelerating change. Together, they unpack the hidden cost of efficiency, why effectiveness matters more than speed, and how better work often begins by orienting differently rather than simply doing more. It’s a grounded, future-facing conversation about learning in real time, designing work around reality, and choosing clarity over noise.
Takeaways:
- Opportunity cost is often harder to measure than hard cost, but it may matter more.
- AI can amplify bad systems just as easily as good ones.
- Doing the right thing imperfectly is still better than doing the wrong thing efficiently.
- Healthy teams can share alignment on direction while still feeling friction in execution.
- Great work starts by understanding your operating system, not fighting against it.
