Feeling buried under tons of information and piles of data, wondering if it’s really helping you make better decisions?  Last week, a leadership team I’m working with had a breakthrough!  😍 We are deep in their strategic planning and I decided to try something new. I took a bunch of their resources—Google Docs, PDFs, slides, competitor reports—and loaded them into NotebookLM. The tool turned all that into a 20-minute audio summary, which the team listened to before our meeting last week. They could also interact with the information like never before! The result?  We had one of the best conversations we’ve ever had—something we simply couldn’t have achieved without AI.  It wasn’t just about saving time—we were able to uncover much deeper insights. 💡 Tools like #NotebookLM don’t just organize information; they help you connect the dots and find trends you might have missed otherwise.  In all my years working with CEOs and leadership teams, I’ve never seen anything as powerful as #genai for boosting #decisionmaking and improving #collaboration. It’s no surprise that my recent Partnering Leadership podcast episode—where I talk about using NotebookLM and share my 4-Step Framework for unlocking a team’s full potential--is on record pace with downloads. Take a quick listen to this three-and-a-half-minute clip from the episode. It starts with part of my introduction to NotebookLM, followed by some clips of AI avatars talking about parts of my 4-Step Framework for improving team performance. And remember, this is just one of the many ways NotebookLM can help your team gain real insights and make better decisions.  A lot of leaders have tried tools like ChatGPT or Claude—but that’s only scratching the surface.  Are you truly leveraging AI to make smarter decisions and strengthen your strategies? In today’s fast-paced world, leaders who only dabble in AI risk being left behind. How are you leading your team to fully embrace #AI and thrive in this transformation? #StrategyToAction #partneringleadership #leadership #culture #strategy #management Strategic Leadership Ventures #strategicplan
