A tech leader shares her journey developing an AI-first mindset, inspired by Ethan Mollick's 'Co-Intelligence'. She outlines how she moved from basic AI usage to building reusable AI-assisted workflows, then extended that thinking to her team. Key themes include: staying problem-focused rather than solution-led when adopting AI, the importance of psychological safety for team-wide experimentation, treating AI adoption as change management, and maintaining personal accountability for all AI-generated outputs. Practical advice covers spec-driven development as a guardrail, celebrating failed experiments, and developing resilience and analytical thinking as the most critical skills in a fast-changing AI landscape.
