When I published Millennials Matter: Proven Strategies for Building Your Next Gen Leader in 2017, I didn’t realize how prophetic it would be. The first third of this leadership development book focused on Character—the inner compass that guides how we think, act, and lead. Character has always been essential, but in the Age of AI, it’s becoming the defining difference between leaders who endure and those who get swept away by speed and noise.

Focusing on leadership development, I’ve often written about my admiration for Bob Tiede, author of Leading with Questions. His work resonates deeply with me—after all, in Millennials Matter, I referenced the power of questions 157 times. So when his latest newsletter landed in my inbox, it hit at the perfect moment.

I recently had a leadership development conversation on LinkedIn. This comment reminded me of the importance of being determined to be a discerning leader during this AI Revolution. In my LinkedIn post, I said, "There’s a growing concern that AI will enslave humans, especially once it reaches AI Singularity. However, I believe the enslaving will be subtle and gradual. You can read this article, included in my Newsletter, Your Leadership Influence Needed: 10 Subtle Ways AI Can Enslave Humans, here. 

In my original YouVersion devotional, I talked about the leadership development concept of Convergence - but I didn't name it as such.  So, hang on. This concept challenges me. As my job shifts and my health changes, I wonder what's happening to my leadership influence.  Convergence challenges me to reconsider God's perspective.
