This really resonates, James. I think you captured the stark shift from the growth-at-any-cost days to a world where efficiency and impact are everything.
This presents an interesting challenge. While some skepticism about AI tools is healthy, it's crucial that team members actively engage with them and contribute to discussions about their benefits and drawbacks. However, it becomes a concern when some team members resist trying these tools altogether, which often suggests a resistance to growth.
