We live in a world that expects instant results. Technology, like ChatGPT, flatters us, agrees with us, and delivers exactly what we ask for. But people don’t work that way. Teams don’t work that way.

When we view people through the lens of convenience, they can feel like obstacles - slowing us down, complicating decisions, challenging our plans.

This year, we’ll examine how this "on-demand" mindset is creeping into our organizations and reshaping how we lead and collaborate. Technology will only get louder, faster, and more deeply embedded in our lives.

But here’s the truth:

People aren’t the problem. People are the purpose.

The beauty of people is that they do get in the way. They disrupt our convenience. They challenge our plans. They bring perspectives that clash with our own, and that clash is where the magic happens. It’s where teams get stronger, services get better, businesses grow, and leaders evolve. That friction, that tension, is where the real dynamite lives.

Leaders who embrace and lead through this dynamic won’t just grow their organizations; they’ll create environments where people, and purpose, thrive.
