Hannah Hammond argues CEOs waste their time doing low-value staff work when they should delegate it to AI. Humans should focus on vision, judgment, and relationships while AI handles drafting, repetitive execution, and pattern recognition. Treating AI as a digital staff member, not a tool you operate, frees you to do what only you can do.

You are the CEO. AI is your staff. If you are still doing staff work, you are overpaying yourself for low-value tasks. AI is a digital employee. To use AI effectively, you have to understand the division of labor. Humans provide vision—where are we going?—judgment, relationships. AI can't look a partner in the eye and build trust. AI provides drafting—get the first 80% done—repetition—doing the same work 1,000 times without error—pattern recognition—finding the needle in the haystack.
