The 5% That Changes Everything
Most leaders think the answer to growth is doing more. But in reality, exponential progress comes from identifying and doubling down on the few actions that matter most. In this Pinnacle Insight, discover how to find your highest-leverage activities—the 5% that drives 95% of your results—and how to reclaim your time, sharpen your focus, and lead with intention.
How to Eat an Elephant
Big change rarely sticks — not because we lack motivation, but because our brains are wired to resist it. In this Pinnacle Insight, I explore why small, almost unnoticeable steps are the key to creating lasting transformation in both your personal and professional life. From skipping French fries to redesigning an organizational process, this is how real change begins: one bite at a time.
Navigating Bureaucracy
Bureaucracy can stifle innovation and slow progress, but it doesn’t have to define the way you work. By evaluating your own habits, challenging unnecessary meetings, and strategically pushing for change, you can break free from the cycle of inefficiency. Are you contributing to the problem, or are you leading the way toward a more effective work environment?
The Power of the Pause
"Taking time off isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategic advantage." Many professionals push themselves to the limit, believing that relentless work is the key to success. But real progress comes not just from working hard, but from knowing when to rest. Vacation isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about rejuvenation. When you step away, stress fades, creativity flourishes, and fresh ideas emerge. The most successful people don’t just sprint endlessly; they understand that performance requires recovery. Take your vacation. Recharge. Come back stronger.
AI Scares and the Illusion of Replacement
AI is transforming industries, sparking both excitement and fear. Will it replace engineers or serve as another tool in a leader’s arsenal? Reflecting on my time at a FAANG company during the ML boom, I see history repeating itself. Companies rush to adopt AI, consultants emerge, and leaders feel pressured to integrate AI into roadmaps. True leadership isn’t about fearing AI but knowing when and how to use it. AI won’t replace people—it will replace those who fail to adapt. Stay sharp, stay informed, and use AI to your advantage. Read on to future-proof your career.
