Because the technology was never the real constraint. Your people are. Every enterprise transformation now hits the same wall: a thin layer of AI-native talent that everyone is fighting over, a deep bench of experienced employees who need reskilling faster than any L&D program was built to deliver, and organizational structures designed for stability that quietly sabotage every attempt to move quickly. ...

The bottleneck is not the algorithm. The bottleneck is leadership. This book is written for the manager who already ...
