Note: Not covered in the book - this is my own personal opinion.When I am not sure how to prompt my AI, I ask myself, "How would I delegate this to a human team member?"I would explain what I am looking for.I would give context and boundaries around my request.I would tell them what I felt success would look like.and finally I would ask them if that had any questions before they get started.So, talk to AI like a human.

When In Doubt

A simple 3-step framework:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Ask the AI to interview you: Don't know how to use AI for a situation? Ask AI to interview you to identify a way it can help. One question at a time.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Generate a high-quality prompt: Ask AI to generate for you a high-quality prompt to help with the task you have identified.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Execute the prompt: Tell AI to execute the prompt it just generated.</li></ol>

Expanding Your Use of AI

Mastering great questions is a skill that will serve you no matter where you go.We all have biases and assumptions that can lead us astray.AI can challenge your biases and enhance them.  Ask it to challenge you.Your job as a leader is to teach your people to think strategically.What seat are you in?  Are you the driver, the passenger, or stuck in the trunk.

The Questions You Ask Shape Your Future

Starting Point: Start wherever you are.The Lightbulb Moment: Have AI turn a relatable moment into a remarkable experience.The Reality Check: The issue is not AI, it's how you communicate with it.Building Momentum: Start doing better work in no time.Accelerating Progress: Harness AI across different use cases.Expanding What's Possible: Build an AI-driven company with your people's best interest at the center.

The AI Empowerment Curve

Data overload versus Data security: two main challenges: drowning in too much information or lacking enough data to make informed decisions.Speed: while humans take about five hours to read 100,000 tokens, AI process the same information in seconds.Accessibility: previously data analysis required waiting weeks for results from an analytics team. Now, AI provides answers in seconds.AI puts insights right at your fingertips.AI allows you to utilize skills beyond your own, accelerating your momentum and impact.
