If you lead an organization, you’re only ever getting part of the picture.
You get everything that’s been consolidated, put together, and passed up the chain. So you also have to recognize: what is not being told to me?
That’s why I enjoyed my conversation with Dan Albaum on the Market Impact Insights podcast.
We talked about the two contracts inside every organization — the written contract that’s officially published, and the unwritten contract, which is really how the business runs. Normally that lives in people’s heads. But it’s also documented somewhere else: the Inbox.
We also discussed why AI is really a third presence in a company, and the leadership move that makes it work: giving people breathing room.
Because AI is not going to save you. The best thing AI can offer right now is organizational self-awareness — and companies that pause and rediscover themselves are the ones that are going to accelerate.
That’s the thinking behind An Inbox Between Us, and it’s where Dan and I spent our time.
If your role is helping organizations translate AI ambiguity into clearer strategy, better execution, and measurable outcomes, I think you’ll enjoy the conversation.
A sincere thank you to Dan Albaum for the opportunity. I appreciated the chance to join you and explore what AI may help us see about our organizations — and ourselves.
