Ruthless with strategy means having a clear understanding of the goals to achieve, resources needed to get there, and partners who will facilitate the journey. Those leaders demand data and they make data driven decisions, rather than swinging based on emotions.Working for them is not easy. It is highly demanding. Long hours are probably required. However, in the long run employees under such bosses tend to learn more and feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.Working for bosses who are ruthless with people can be frustrating. They demand that you reply back to their emails and slack messages quickly, they monitor the breaks you take, and scrutinise when you come and leave office. If you work for them job becomes futile and fruitless.If you have a choice, choose to work for bosses who are ruthless with strategy.Connect with me Twitter: https://twitter.com/jjude LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjude/ Website: https://jjude.com/ Newsletter: https://jjude.com/subscribe Youtube: https://youtube.com/gravitaswins Email: podcast@jjude.com Executive Coaching Program: https://gravitaswins.com Your feedback countsThank you for listening.

Life is uncertain. To deal with this vastness of uncertainty, we create small pockets of certainty like safe spaces like our houses, daily routines like going to and returning from the office at a fixed time, and dependable friends. These certainties act as proof that we have successfully navigated life thus far.However, relying solely on these established certainties can weaken our convictions. In this episode, I talk about how to think about the intersection of conviction and certainty.

This is the 75th episode of Gravitas WINS Radio. Thank you for all your support in listening, commenting, and spreading the word about the podcast.The metaphor "sell shovels during gold rush" originated during California's gold rush. The saying means that when you recognize a gold rush is happening, don't try to be the 1,000,001st person to mine for gold, because you will probably fail. Instead sell something that all the millions of gold miners need, like shovels and get rich from selling them. This mental model is so true for the current AI era too.Connect with me Twitter: https://twitter.com/jjude LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjude/ Website: https://jjude.com/ Newsletter: https://jjude.com/subscribe Youtube: https://youtube.com/gravitaswins Email: podcast@jjude.com Executive Coaching Program: https://gravitaswins.com Your feedback countsThank you for listening.

In the '70s, leadership expert Warren Bennis predicted a future factory staffed by just a man and a dog. The man's job is to feed the dog. The dog's role is to stop the man from touching machines. This vision never materialized.Now, with generative AI on the rise, I hear similar forecasts. These AI models can create movies, music, images – pushing humans to the sidelines of creative work. They suggest our only task will be supervising these LLM models.I disagree for five reasons: Humans adapt Humans are irreplaceable Troubleshooting real-world problems need humans Building an all-AI factory would be costly These models are inhaling their own exhaust Connect with me Twitter: https://twitter.com/jjude LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjude/ Website: https://jjude.com/ Newsletter: https://jjude.com/subscribe Youtube: https://youtube.com/gravitaswins Email: podcast@jjude.com Executive Coaching Program: https://gravitaswins.com Your feedback countsThank you for listening.
