Reader: Morning Minute – March 11, 2026 I Apologize for My Mistake! Good morning. Earlier this week I shared a graph from research by Anthropic to illustrate how artificial intelligence is beginning to change the way work gets done. After reflecting on my comments, I realized that my analysis missed the most important insight in the data. Here is that chart again: In my earlier message, I suggested that the data might allow organizations to replace some outside CRM services by bringing those functions in-house with a small number of skilled people using AI. While that may sometimes be possible, it was not the real lesson in the data. To understand what the chart actually shows, we first need to understand something important about AI. Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for analyzing information, recognizing patterns, and generating ideas. But it also has limitations. 1st: AI has no judgment. It cannot always distinguish between accurate information and flawed information. It processes what it receives and generates responses based on that input. If the information being used is incomplete or inaccurate, the conclusions may also be flawed. 2nd: AI does not fully understand what makes people unique. It cannot measure lived experience, character, relationships, or the lessons learned from success and failure. Now look again at the chart. Even in areas where AI can assist with a large percentage of tasks, there remains something essential that technology cannot replace. That “something” is the human element. The best leaders bring qualities that no machine can measure. Things like: • Your Lived Experience — the lessons you learned from both success and failure AI can help us work faster and more efficiently. But the qualities that define great leadership still come from people. In future Morning Minutes, I’ll continue sharing ideas on how you can use both technology and human insight to strengthen your leadership and assist you in your career journey.
