Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are designed for engagement, not accuracy, making users feel confident even when the output is flawed. An HBR study showed that executives relying on GenAI made worse predictions than those who collaborated with peers, revealing the subtle danger of its persuasive tone. This post urges leaders to remain critical, involve human judgment, and understand how AI works to avoid being misled by tools that sound smart but don't truly know.

Real leadership starts not with confidence but with the willingness to act before you feel ready. Instead of waiting, this approach pushes you to take small, brave steps that build real strength over time. By moving forward despite fear, you earn trust, drive meaningful change, and create a culture of resilience. Courage becomes your foundation, and confidence naturally follows as a result. Show up fully and lead with the energy that inspires growth in yourself and everyone around you.
