What if the biggest obstacle to doing great work isn't failure, but all the good things we're already doing?

I've been thinking about this idea from Jim Collins in Good to Great:
"Good is the enemy of great."

As leaders, we're often surrounded by worthwhile opportunities, meaningful projects, and responsibilities that genuinely deserve our attention. And because we're capable of handling them, we keep saying yes.

But at some point, even good things can compete with the work that matters most.

That's where leadership requires a different kind of discipline. Not just knowing how to get things done, but recognizing where our time, energy, and attention will make the greatest difference.

Sometimes that means delegating something we're good at, simplifying a process that's become unnecessarily complicated, or using AI to free up time for more strategic work.

And sometimes it means saying no to a perfectly good opportunity because it doesn't align with where we're trying to go.

Reaching the next level of leadership isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about creating space for what matters most.

As you look at your priorities this week, consider this: What's one good thing you might need to let go of to make room for something even better?

Sometimes a leadership book helps you recognize exactly what needs to change. Then Monday arrives, and you’re back in the meeting, the decision, or the conversation where changing that habit feels harder.

That space between understanding and application deserves attention.

In The Advancement, I explore leadership through four pillars: Strategic, Relational, Operational, and Mindset. Each offers a place to pause and examine how you’re leading.

You might recognize that you need more time for strategic work, a stronger relationship across departments, or greater confidence when sharing your perspective. The next step is making that insight practical within your circumstances.

That is work we can explore together through coaching. We can clarify the challenge, examine the patterns influencing your choices, and identify actions you’re willing to practice and revisit.

If you’re reading the book or preparing for greater leadership responsibility, I’d welcome a conversation about where you want to advance and whether coaching could support you.

🤔 As AI becomes more capable of doing the work, are we becoming more intentional about how we lead it?

I came across some interesting research from Anthropic that got me thinking about the role of human judgment as AI becomes more capable.

Researchers asked experienced analysts to complete a realistic assignment with AI assistance. The analysts followed the AI agent's preferred approach in 86% of the analytical choices, even though researchers had deliberately influenced the agent's preferences.

It's a small study, and the findings shouldn't be generalized too broadly. But the leadership implications are worth exploring.

As AI becomes more capable of completing complex work, we need to be just as intentional about developing human judgment.

I see three capabilities that deserve our attention:
🧠 Independent judgment. Employees need the confidence and ability to question AI conclusions, even when those conclusions sound persuasive.

🎯 Intentional delegation. Leaders need to distinguish between tasks AI can perform and those that require human decisions.

🌱 Organizational learning. Teams need opportunities to examine AI-assisted work, identify weaknesses, share what they've learned, and improve how they use the technology.

These aren't entirely new leadership responsibilities, but they're becoming increasingly important as AI takes on a larger role in our work.

The opportunity isn't to become less reliant on AI. It's to become better at working with AI thoughtfully.

I believe this deserves a place in our conversations about AI fluency, leadership development, and responsible adoption.

Which of these three capabilities do you believe needs the most attention in organizations today? Share in the comments below.

For those interested in exploring the research behind this post, here's the original Anthropic study:

It's an interesting look at how AI recommendations can influence professional judgment, even among experienced analysts.

Leaders often try to create clarity by explaining more.

Sometimes the better first move is to ask where the uncertainty already exists.

Invite your team to name one expectation, priority, decision, or support need that feels unclear. Listen for the practical issue underneath the answer, then follow through on what you can clarify.

You may not be able to resolve every concern immediately. You can still make the next step, the decision owner, or the available support more visible.

What is one question you could ask now that would help your team move into the rest of the year with greater clarity?

Communicating a decision requires more than announcing the outcome.

People also need enough context to understand the reasoning, the tradeoff, and what changes for them.

They need to know what is final and where their input can still influence implementation.

Before your next decision update, prepare five things: the decision, why it is happening now, the tradeoff, the team impact, and the remaining space for input.

Which part of that context is easiest for leaders to overlook?

Moving a deadline may create more time, but it does not automatically create a workable plan.

When timing changes, revisit the rest of the agreement:

- Is the scope still realistic?

- Do the same people still own the work?

- Are the necessary resources available?

- What expectations need to be updated?

A responsible revision makes the whole plan visible again. It gives the team a chance to adjust before the new deadline becomes another source of pressure.

What do you review first when a timeline changes?

You may have noticed I’ve been talking about something exciting these past few weeks.

Today, we're kicking off the next cohort of the Solopreneur Coach Launchpad.

I’m always inspired by the coaches who step forward and decide it’s time to build their practice with greater clarity, structure, and support.

Over the next three months, we’ll be working together to design AI-supported systems that help coaches:
• create meaningful content
• build client-centered journeys
• streamline the business side of their practice
• and focus more energy on the work that matters most—serving their clients.

If you’ve been following along and wondering whether this might be right for you, it’s not too late to reach out.

Sometimes the most powerful step forward is simply deciding to begin.

DM me, and let's start the conversation.

How do you prepare to deliver news someone doesn’t want to hear?

During my Michigan SHRM session last week, I used AI to role-play a conversation with a fictional employee, Maya, who wasn’t receiving an anticipated promotion.

After practicing, I asked AI to step out of character and help me examine my approach:
- Did I acknowledge her feelings before moving toward solutions?
- Where did I sound scripted or defensive?
- How could I encourage her without promising something I couldn’t guarantee?

Those are useful questions for leaders preparing for a difficult conversation.

AI can provide a practice partner and another perspective. We still need our judgment, and please remember that a simulation cannot predict how a real person will respond.

The value comes from pausing, noticing our habits, and choosing how we want to show up.

If your organization is exploring practical AI learning alongside leadership development, I’d welcome a conversation about what that could look like for your team.

A commitment can still matter even when the original plan no longer fits.

Choose one Q4 priority and ask:
-What is the current reality?
-Who is affected by the status?
-What update, decision, or conversation is now needed?

An honest update is not an admission of failure. It is a leadership practice that allows people to adjust with accurate information.
What commitment deserves a clearer status before the month closes?
