Machine or human? It is a false choice — and the leaders who accept the framing have already lost. CHRONICLE 244 | The Visionary Chronicles Podcast | The Visionary Leader | June 2026 Takeaways…
So I always start with a quote, and this actually comes from my book, The Visionary Leader, is, the machine does not know what matters.
So why does this matter? The reason it matters because there's a conversation happening in every boardroom right now, and almost all of it is framed wrong.
And this comes again from Liquid Mind, brand advisory firm that I own, that we talk to a lot of leaders around the world.
We do work with several of those, but it's also startups, mid-cap, small-cap companies, whatever it is.
The question being asked is this, how much do we hand over to AI? That's the question, right? As if leadership were a dial you turn.
At seeing what has happened, do you notice I use past tense? Human judgment is what determines what matters.
what is right and what should happen next in a context the data has never seen.
What I find is the leaders who are struggling right now are the ones treating those as interchangeable.
They either delegate judgment to a system that cannot exercise it, or they refuse the leverage of a tool that would make their judgment sharper.
