The Wisdom of Asking
The end of answers. It’s always been the case that the wisest among us have been masters of asking good questions. They understand and have always understood that it’s less important to have the answers and appear impressive.
It’s more important to be able to ask the right questions and draw out meaningful connection and contribution with the people around them. That’s what makes you look and seem wise. That’s what allows you to be a person of influence because you build trust in others and you help them to establish connection.
The Age of AI
Again, contribution. That’s always been the case, but now more than ever, now it’s obvious, it should be obvious to us all, that it’s the end of answers, that we no longer need to be obsessed with being intellectually impressive and just constantly ingesting information because we have AI that can give us any answer to anything, any problem that’s ever been before, maybe not future problems, but any problem that’s been before, we have answers to if we just ask questions in the right way.
The concept of the end of answers… Give me an example of what you just said. For example, forgiveness, right? For example, how do you forgive someone? Well, I typed in a prompt into ChatGPT and it spout out, like I think it was a seven -part strategy, seven steps to helping me let go of something that needed to be forgiven.

Beyond Answers: The Art of Asking More
And because it has at its fingertips the entire history of psychology and case studies and books and stories and how it makes its own determinations and can offer its own advice and the principles that it gave me were really good. Now, they weren’t enough and learning to be a good question asker and asking the follow -up questions, what does this look like in practice or what is a good example of this thing being true?
What is an example of this being not true? What is an example when this doesn’t work? So there are follow -up questions that help us get to more complete and more meaningful understandings of these concepts, but we have to just lean into the question instead of being obsessed with thinking that we should have all the right answers.
Preparing for the Future
So that’s obvious with chatGBT kind of weaving itself into the fabric of everyday life. But it’s also, this is really important, it’s also even more critical when it comes to our interpersonal human connections because AI is replacing jobs. AI is eliminating jobs that we’ve taken for granted for the last 50 years.
A lot of jobs are going away, they will. And leaders of the future, people are going to elevate and be able to leverage chatGBT, and play in the future. They need to be leaders that understand how to lead people and draw out in people and leverage the creativity of people, leverage problem solving of new problems, new issues as they arise.

And those people are not, people that are obsessed with answers from the past, those people are individuals that have learned how to ask great questions of AI and then ask great questions of humans so that they are garnering support, they are rallying the troops, they are empowering the people under them.
