But true leadership isn't about becoming someone else. It's about unlocking the strengths you already have.

You have been told to 'use AI more'. Nobody told you which of your team's tasks go to AI, which need a signature, and which stay with people.

What if the capability your company needs does not have to live on your payroll, inside your software stack, or under your permanent ownership?

That is beginning to change. In Rent the Capability, entrepreneur and technologist Alex Tran shows business leaders how to decide which capabilities should remain human, which should be owned, which are worth building, and which can be accessed when needed.

You don't need more AI. You need a business that learns. You already have powerful AI. Maybe you use ChatGPT or Claude every day. You've collected prompts, automated tasks, experimented with agents or even built products with AI. And yet your business probably isn't transforming as quickly as the technology. The problem isn't that AI isn't powerful enough. AI makes execution cheaper. But that makes bad judgment more expensive. It can produce extraordinary work while missing context your company already knows. It can complete every task you give it without knowing whether any of that work ...

Most bad managers don’t wake up one morning and decide to become bad managers. It happens slowly. A little more ego. A little less listening. Results begin to matter more than people.

In What Makes Bad Managers Bad, Angelo DiTullio draws on more than three decades of real-world leadership experience to examine how capable people become ineffective leaders—and how easily the strengths that helped someone ...

Stop Being Asked to Repeat Yourself The 30-Day Voice Clarity Method for Men Over 40 You make a clear point in a meeting. Someone leans in and says, “Sorry, could you repeat that?” Or you finish a sentence on a call and watch the slight pause while people decode your last few words. After 40 this becomes common. Your voice loses its clean edges. Final consonants disappear. Sentences trail off. Projection needs more effort than it should. You still have the experience and judgement—the delivery system has simply fallen behind. This is not vanity. In meetings, client calls, and ...

Hill about conflict and promotion, William Tecumseh Sherman about purpose, Philip Sheridan about attacking problems, and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain about character. The Empty Chair creates those conversations. Through historically grounded reconstructed interviews, Angelo DiTullio sits down with eight of the ...

You have been told to trust your gut. Nobody explained when. You know the stories. The expert who spots a fake statue in two seconds. The firefighter who senses danger before he can explain why. The advice that followed was simple: trust your gut, and trust it fast.
