"In The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions, Geoff Woods makes a point that resonates with me. Woods dismisses people who champion AI as a tool to quickly craft an email or perform other simplistic uses. That sort of task doesn’t move the needle. Using ChatGPT to draft a coherent email might save you 30 seconds here and there, but it’s not something that will help you develop a business strategy as a corporate leader.
Woods instead encourages readers to use AI as a “thought partner.” Use your AI thought partner to do tasks like these:
- Surface counterpoints to your ideas
- Challenge your assumptions
- Push your thinking in different directions
- Function as a sounding board
- Simulate potential scenarios
- Role play other points of view
- List arguments or considerations for decisions
- Analyze data and trends, and more
Overall, engage with AI as a thought partner to think more strategically. Don’t use AI for mechanical tasks alone.
When people consider prompt engineering techniques for docs, they too often gravitate toward push-button tasks—simplify this paragraph, format this content, or align it with our style guide. This short sells the power of AI.
It’s like having a legendary book editor, perhaps from a prominent New York publishing house, sitting next to you, and you ask them to perform trivial tasks on your content, such as shortening a paragraph here and there. No, you want this person to examine your book’s argument and analyze whether you’ve provided compelling logic. You want them to give insight into alternative approaches and how to incorporate storytelling elements. Don’t make AI just play the role of a copyeditor intern."
