**Your Action Steps**
It’s time to put these takeaways to the test.
1. **Choose your most common task**
Pick one writing task you do repeatedly (like team updates, client emails, or meeting summaries). This will be your testing ground for the results.
2. **Create your AI advantage**
Simply type: "You are a senior [your role] with 15+ years of experience. Help me create [specific task] that is [clear/professional/engaging]. Here's what I have so far: [your content]". Then follow up with additional direction or clarification.
3. **Measure your success**
At the end of the task, track the same metrics from the study to understand if you saved more than 37% of your time, completed higher quality work, and enjoyed the process.

I also recommend a minimum of three, one‐hour customer interactions each week, ongoing, and during the weekly 1:1, I love to ask about these customer interactions and see what the product person has learned. I also encourage the product person to share with me stories of what they experienced during these visits, and then to share these stories widely around the company. I explain that my purpose is to establish the reputation of this product person as someone who has a deep and personal knowledge of the company's users and customers.

It is often said that a strategy is a choice or a decision. The words “choice” and “decision” evoke an image of someone considering a list of alternatives and then selecting one of them. There is, in fact, a formal theory of decisions that specifies exactly how to make a choice by identifying alternative actions, valuing outcomes, and appraising probabilities of events. The problem with this view, and the reason it barely lightens a leader’s burden, is that you are rarely handed a clear set of alternatives. In the case at hand, Hannibal was certainly not briefed by a staff presenting four options arranged on a PowerPoint slide. Rather, he faced a challenge and he designed a novel response.
