Leadership in complex organisations comes with a simple realization:

At the World Class Business Leaders โSupply Riskโ conference in Frankfurt, I gave a ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป on ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป-๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐.
The presentation has now been turned into a ๐ญ๐ฑ-๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐.

It was the first time I experienced ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป ๐บ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ธ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ – and I must admit I had mixed feelings.
Listening to it, a few things surprised me:
๐ค ๐ญ The AI podcast framed the story around โ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐.โ โ๏ธ๐ฑ
For me this was more of a side note – yet it is ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ข๐๐๐.
๐ค๐ญ The two AI hosts sound ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ with a flair for ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐. ๐๐๏ธ๐ฅณ
My own style is more analytical and calm. Still, I found the ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ .
๐ค๐ญ I did tell a Starbucks story, but AI changed the conclusion and invented a story about ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, based on misspelled โHelmutโ coffee cups. โ
Even that โ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐งโ actually ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก – confirming that AI is no different from complex organisations:
โ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ปโ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐น ๐๐ ๐๐น๐น.โ
๐๐ก Overall, it was an interesting and insightful experience to hear the HELIBLICK ideas interpreted through an ๐๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐.
I am also excited because together with Danielle IJkema I am currently preparing the ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ โDecision-Making in the Full Mess of Business.โ
It is coming together nicely and will start with a cohort in ๐ญ๐๐ด (๐๐) in ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ 2026.
If you listen to the podcast over the weekend – or if you are interested in the program – I would be happy about feedback, questions, or different perspectives in the comments or via DM.
