The 15-Step Cognitive Ladder to AI Proficiency:
To thrive in this evolving landscape, individuals and organizations must climb the 15-step cognitive ladder of AI proficiency:
LinkedIn as the Flagship of the Digital Marketplace
LinkedIn plays a crucial role in this journey. As the flagship of the digital marketplace, LinkedIn provides a platform for:
Time Management wise 2025 starts on 30th December because it is the first of the 52 weeks of the year. Contrary to widespread belief, time management unit of measurement is not the year, the season, the quarter, the month or the day. Time management measurement is the week, the hour and the minute. This is where most humans fall behind.
In 2023, the AI landscape was dominated by hype surrounding chatbots like ChatGPT, often presented as futuristic robots with limited real-world applications. This initial wave focused on flashy demonstrations, overlooking the crucial need for strategic leadership and a deep understanding of AI's potential.
However, 2024 has witnessed a significant shift. The emergence of advanced models like Google Gemini 2.0 and the integration of AI into core business functions have ushered in an era where AI is not just a buzzword, but a driving force for innovation and growth.
Peter Drucker's timeless wisdom, "The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic," perfectly encapsulates this shift. In 2023, many organizations acted with "yesterday's logic," focusing on the novelty of AI chatbots rather than its strategic implications. They failed to recognize the need for a comprehensive AI strategy and underestimated the importance of human leadership.

True AI 5.0 leadership transcends the hype and focuses on:
The Role of Google Gemini 2.0 and Microsoft Copilot
Tools like Google Gemini 2.0 and Microsoft Copilot are not just chatbots; they are powerful AI assistants that can:

AI Technology Streamlines Book Creation: The Case of "AI 5.0 Leadership"

The success stories listed showcase the global reach and diverse applications of AI in leadership development.
The Power of Collaboration: From Idea to Publication in 1.5 Days
The journey began on December 24th, 2024, with a visionary prompt from Jorge Zuazola, CEO of European Leadership. Leveraging Google Gemini, a large language model, Mr. Zuazola explored the concept of AI-powered leadership, generating a comprehensive outline for the book's content. This initial draft, created within 1.5 hours, served as the foundation for further development.
Building the Book's Structure with Gemini
Throughout the evening of December 24th, Mr. Zuazola continued collaborating with Gemini. They fleshed out the chapter structure, identified key themes, and incorporated insights from previous European Leadership publications. By leveraging Gemini's ability to process information and generate creative text formats, the book's core structure materialized within a remarkable timeframe.
Human Expertise: Refining the Content
While AI played a crucial role in content generation, human expertise remained central to the process. On December 25th, Mr. Zuazola already had the green light to his December 24th request from a network of these 7 worldwide leadership experts to put their articles, Annick Verboven (Netherlands), Maryana Stefuryn (Portugal), Julio Pinet (San Antonio), Lisa Goldenthal (State of Washington), Rachele Riley (New Orleans), Joseba Madariaga (Bilbao), and Rafael Jimenez Gonzalez (Madrid). Their valuable feedback on the draft content ensured the book's practical relevance and addressed the needs of keynote leaders and conference speakers because all of their articles herwith referenced in blue are indeed of high quality. Therefore they are all exemplary AI Digital leaders for the world.
The Finishing Touches: Translation, Imagery, and Publication
With the core content finalized, Google Translate facilitated the creation of the book's digital version, catering to a global Amazon audience. Microsoft Copilot, an AI tool specializing in code generation and image editing, assisted in creating visuals and infographics to enhance the book's readability and impact. At coffee breakfast time and within 30 minutes on December 25th, Mr. Zuazola, empowered by AI technology, was able to publish both the digital and full-color versions of the book on Amazon.
Key Takeaways:
This case study demonstrates the transformative potential of AI in the publishing industry. By leveraging large language models, translation tools, and image generation platforms, authors can significantly streamline the writing and production process. However, it's important to remember that AI serves as a powerful collaborator, not a replacement for human creativity and expertise. The success of "AI 5.0 Leadership" highlights the synergy between cutting-edge technology and human vision, paving the way for a future of efficient and impactful knowledge creation.

1.1 A visionary prompt in February 2023
Peter Drucker, the management gurú of all times, was so right that when we asked Microsoft AI Chat Bot (February 2023 release) the below question.
Prompt
Can you list a chronological path from the 0.0 world (1963 first telephone device with AT&T) to the current 5G world (since 2022) mentioning milestones such as the 1.0 world (1995 the first Microsoft browser) the 2.0 world (2003 when Linkedin was launched in May 2003, followed by the launch of Facebook in 2004 and Twitter in 2006) as well as the 3.0 world (2013 when LinkedIn bought Pulse a mobile feed application for 90 M USD and Google Hangout was launched in 2013 apart from the previous launch of Instagram in 2010 and WhatsApp in 2009 ) and the 4.0 world IoT driven when in 2016 Microsoft bought LinkedIn for USD 26 billion followed later by the 2020 surge of Zoom and Tik Tok ?
The answer is brilliant
Answer
Sure! Here is a chronological path from the 0.0 world to the current 5G world, highlighting some of the major milestones along the way:
0.0 World (1963): The first telephone device with AT&T was introduced.
1.0 World (1995): Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.0 made its debut on August 24, 1995. It was a reworked version of Spyglass Mosaic, which Microsoft licensed from Spyglass Inc., like many other companies initiating browser development
2.0 World (2003-2006): LinkedIn was launched in May 2003, followed by the launch of Facebook in 2004 and Twitter in 2006. LinkedIn, a business and employment-focused social media platform that works through websites and mobile apps, was launched on May 5, 2003. It is now owned by Microsoft. The platform is primarily used for professional networking and career development, and allows jobseekers to post their CVs and employers to post jobs.
3.0 World (2009-2013): WhatsApp was launched in 2009, followed by Instagram in 2010. In 2013, LinkedIn bought Pulse, a mobile feed application, for 90 million USD and Google Hangout was launched. LinkedIn acquired Pulse, a leading news reader and mobile content distribution platform, on April 11, 2013.

Microsoft Corp. and LinkedIn Corporation announced they entered into a definitive agreement under which Microsoft will acquire LinkedIn for $196 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at $26.2 billion, inclusive of LinkedIn’s net cash on June 13, 2016. LinkedIn retained its distinct brand, culture, and independence. In 2020, there was a surge in the popularity of Zoom and Tik Tok due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
5G World (2022-present): The 5G network has been rolled out globally since 2022, providing faster internet speeds and improved connectivity. According to a GSA report, around 70 countries had 5G networks as of June 2022, up from just 38 in mid-2020. Approximately 15 more have had 5G mobile technology deployed in part5. It is expected that 5G will reach 1 billion users this year after just in 3.5 years in use, compared with 4 years for 4G and 12 years for 3G.

3moJorge, great article. You picked a very fundamental quote from Steve Jobs. It beautifully captures the essence of leadership versus management. Management often focuses on structure, tasks, and efficiency, while leadership transcends those boundaries by unlocking potential and driving vision. True leaders ignite a sense of purpose and possibility, enabling people to achieve what once felt unattainable. The real magic happens when leadership and management work hand in hand—balancing inspiration with the execution needed to turn dreams into reality. How do you strike the balance between managing day-to-day tasks and inspiring your team to dream bigger?
