Sam is building something rare a serious, unhurried argument for thinking critically about AI rather than just adopting it faster. A professor and poet in Edinburgh who writes about what AI literacy actually means. If you read one thing this week about AI and education, make it this.
This is a great publication if you are in project management or are a Technical Project Management.
Jillian and Jan have spent twenty years inside the conversations most leaders avoid. Negotiating deals, managing conflict, handling the dynamics no one trained you for. They give you the psychological scripts to do it better. Not theory. Actual language for actual rooms. If you have ever walked out of a difficult conversation wishing you had said something different, this is where you learn to say it.
Rachdele writes critical essays about tech and culture with the same precision I try to bring to power and leadership. She asks what the system is actually costing us while everyone else is celebrating efficiency. She names the mechanisms how convenience becomes control, how tech reorganizes what it means to be human. If you care about understanding what we're actually building and who benefits, her work is essential.
Admired Leadership does something rare it respects your time. Each field note is a minute to read and stays with you far longer. Their tagline "Leadership is what you do" is not a slogan. It is the whole philosophy, delivered daily in practice. If you believe leadership is a verb and not a title, this belongs in your reading.
Technology is moving at an exponential rate, but our organizations are still governed by linear human systems. I recommend Exponential View because Azeem Azhar is the best at mapping this 'Great Gap.' It is required reading for any CTO who needs to look beyond next quarter’s roadmap and understand the structural shifts reshaping our society.
Great source of material if you want to know where AI is heading...Some hard truths we all need to hear.
