Remaining Relevant

The issue everywhere.

The one that lingers in the air.

After the pretenses are stripped bare.

That every manager and business share:

Is how does my business remain relevant?

Are our business models up to snuff?

Do our partners and suppliers have the right stuff?

Will the business hold when things get rough?

Why is managing talent so tough?

How do we as leaders remain relevant?

How will AI change my job?

What challenges will it lob?

Will it of my livelihood rob?

The pace of change why does it makes me sob?

How do I in an AI age remain relevant?

The answers are slowly starting to emerge.

This is not the time to sing a dirge.

Instead towards this new world we must surge.

And some old ways of thinking we need to purge.

Maybe re-inventing, re-learning, re-thinking are the ways to remain relevant?

It is a time to invest big and dare.

A time to realize that AI while key will be a commodity and not rare.

AI while essential unlikely to differentiate from competition when buyers compare.

Rather how does one optimize the AI and HI (Human Inspiration) pair?

Maybe embracing tech alone may not be enough to remain relevant?

Embracing the tech is a key.

It is however but the entry fee.

The difficulty is how to adapt our current ships to sail in this new sea.

How to ensure the machine complements and does not replace me.

From the noisy confusion we must find fusion to remain relevant!

What is important is that every one of us must seize the day.

Take the time and even invest to learn from part of our pay.

Do not only depend only on the employer to equip you for the future way.

The more up to tomorrow you are the more in your job you will be able to stay.

Do not delegate the task to others of you remaining relevant!

The age of de-bossification is on the way.

Do not just manage, monitor, delegate or measure your talent will say.

They ask what have you created, built, made or who have you mentored today?

Inspire and help them grow and only then they will stay.

Adapt and grow as a leader is the way to remaining relevant.

The future despite the screeching headlines is bright.

Seize the day and all will be right.

To twist and transform ourselves into new shapes is the fight.

From the dark we will emerge into the light.

Only when we transform do we and our company remain relevant.
