#SilentMastermind

I'll never forget the day Sarah in operations asked me who was behind our new quarterly goals. She said they were "surprisingly coherent" and "actually seemed to understand our value streams." I didn't correct her when she smiled and thanked "whoever it is in engineering for finally reading the corporate strategy docs." But here's the truth: we've quietly been using an AI copilot to draft our entire OKR framework. Key results that used to take three cross-functional meetings now land in Slack with perfect formatting. Nobody noticed because nobody was reading them to begin with. The real lesson isn't about automation—it's that we spend 80% of our energy on goals we never revisit. We just offloaded the buzzword generation so we could all focus on more important things. Like reinforcing the illusion of intentionality. #AIStrategy #OKRs #LeadershipBlindSpots #FutureOfWork
