admittedly embarrassing, awkward moment on stage, but rather than be Mr. Expert tough guy, he let them in and he asked for help and he moved through it.

And that to me is where I think the world is headed.

We are over this curated perfection.

We are over, not to take this in a left turn, but I think we're a little bit increasingly getting over this AI incongruence of people sounding so expert-y in the written format online.

And then when you speak to them, they don't sound a thing like that.

There's a total incongruence.

I think we're going to be returning to this space where the stumble and fumble has such deeper value when we acknowledge it and honor it in a way that actually pushes our confidence forward.

Love this idea.

And again, that's at its sort of master scale of taking entire paper and then resynthesizing it.

But I think every leader who is trying to develop a team right now should take some version

of that lesson into their teams.

It's not even just about, many of us have seen that new MIT Sloan research study about people who use generative AI regularly are having retention issues.

They do it and then it's done.

They're not retaining the information like you said, but more than that is the synthesizing of information.

We're not even taking the time to make meaning out of what it is that we've read.

And so what I love about Scott's exercise is if they don't have notes, they're not just retaining the information.

They're actually being forced to make meaning out of what it is that they read and created because meaning is what helps you remember and then create a version that you then repeat to the class.

So Scott Anthony, thank you.

I will be borrowing that exercise in my workshops.

That's fantastic.
