In this segment, the speaker urges leaders to actively shape their interactions with AI rather than passively receiving answers. He advocates for a learning‑by‑doing approach: instead of asking AI to produce complete solutions, leaders should craft prompts that guide the model toward the right answer, prompting the user to discover it themselves. This intentional prompting puts the leader in control of the AI relationship, ensuring the experience is owned and directed by the human rather than dictated by the model. The core message is that AI should be a tool for guided learning, with leaders taking the reins to dictate how the partnership unfolds.

that say, this is the specific thing I want you to help me with. I don't want you to write the whole thing. You can provide instructions that say, hey, I actually want to learn as I go. And as a leader, that can be a choice that you make. I want to learn as I go. Don't give me the answer. Prompt me to the right answer. Help me get there by myself. If you don't provide that, it's just going to spit out the answer for you. But you have the control. Like, this is for us to own. The AI experience is ours to have. Most of us, though, kind of sit back and let it happen to us as opposed to kind of take the reins and let an AI model know, you know, we're the ones dictating how this relationship is going to go. And that is, it is possible to do that.
