This is hard, uncomfortable work, but it's work that you, as leaders, need to take on.

Now, myth number three.

My preferred one, I'm French.

We need to protect jobs.

Yes, I see where this one is coming from.

Today, 41 percent of employees believe that their job will vanish in the next decade because of AI.

But protecting jobs is like anchoring a boat in a storm.

Jobs are fixed.

The human potential to grow and adapt, on the other hand, is not.

This is where we need to invest.

The challenge is our organizations are not geared for that today.

Orchards are static, carrier paths are narrow, training is occasional.

This system will fall apart the day that the boundaries of jobs start melting away fast.

So what do we need to do?

Let me take you to an ideal company.

Not a theoretical one, just the blend of the boldest clients I've worked with.

First, they don't start with tech.

They start with strategy.

They focus on the outcomes that truly differentiate them on the market.

They understand our agents will allow them to deliver against those outcomes in totally different ways.
