AI can scale intelligence, but it cannot replace judgment, make decisions, or be held accountable. Only people can do that.
During a forty-year career, Howard H. Stevenson taught at Harvard Business School, chaired NPR, and co-founded a hedge fund, The Baupost Group. His definition of entrepreneurship inspired leaders and institutions around the world.
In this revised edition of Howard's Gift, Pravi CEO Eric Sinoway, Howard, and contributors share practical wisdom for life and leadership in the age of AI, including:
- Decide what should be delegated to AI and what must remain human using the Humans Still Matter(R) operating lens.
- Use Decision Wisdom(TM) to focus on what matters most.
- Recognize inflection points that can change your direction and future.
- Start at the end and make decisions with intention, not reaction.
This book helps readers define success on their own terms and lead with clarity, judgment, and humanity.
