AI Is Not Replacing Jobs. It’s Exposing Weak Leadership

AI is not taking your job.

It is revealing whether your role was strategic in the first place.

When AI tools first became mainstream, a senior professional told me,

“Andy, I’m scared. What if everything I do can be automated?”

I asked one question:

“Do you make decisions, or do you execute instructions?”

Silence followed.

Sun Tzu never feared new weapons.

He feared leaders who didn’t understand how power shifts.

AI replaces tasks, not thinking.

But many roles were built entirely on tasks.

Those who panic fight technology.

Those who win reposition themselves.

In the Art of War, the leader who clings to old terrain gets defeated.

The one who moves early survives.

Your Key Takeaways:

• AI rewards strategic thinkers

• Authority now comes from judgment, not activity

• Those who fight AI emotionally lose first

If you want to stay relevant without fighting technology, learn how strategists adapt.

Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?" All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
