Executive Briefing: AI Change Leadership—9 Principles for AI Transformation

Nine hands-on leadership rules I've seen separate AI native companies from the AI-also-rans—flip change management assumptions and turn risky AI rollouts into competitive advantage

Every leader knows AI is essential—but almost nobody realizes their traditional leadership playbook for change management is dangerously obsolete in the age of AI.

This week’s Executive Briefing exposes why conventional approaches to organizational change fail spectacularly in the AI era, detailing precisely how winning companies are rewriting their leadership principles.

The goal is straightforward: arm you with the practical, actionable strategies you need to avoid expensive failures and position your organization to dominate your market over the next two years.

We’ll cover nine leadership principles that are reversed in the AI era, explain why, and suggest strategies to move forward with AI organizational change. These are not intuitive principles, since many of them go against classical management theory. I’ll explain why I’ve seen them work in practice anyway and give you ideas on how to roll them out in your context.

I remain convinced that the biggest obstacle holding most organizations back from AI fluency is cultural, not technical. You can hire the talent. You can’t hire the culture. Getting AI culture change right is what is going to separate winners in the AI era from losers.

I laid out the nine skeleton keys I’ve uncovered in practice in this briefing. My goal is to give you a clear, battle-tested cultural playbook you can leverage now to secure your place in the AI future. Good luck!

If you’re wondering what the heck an executive circle is, I made a 60 second video here, and you can learn how to change your plan here. TLDR; this is an extra post executive circle members get once a week. Enjoy, and back to regular programming Monday!

Executive Circle members enjoy all these Sunday briefings!
