I used to think being a generalist was a weakness.

Too many interests. No single specialty.

Then I realized: connecting dots across fields makes me a better leader.

I don’t need to fit in one box.

I use my wide lens to solve problems others don’t see.

Generative AI Prompts aren’t magic spells. They’re process made visible.

If you can’t verbalize in detail the process and thinking around exactly what you want, don’t expect a machine to figure it out from thin air.

Teaching Humans, Not Machines

We spent decades training students to think like machines, then wondered why machines learned to think better than our students.

Before I reduce someone to just their flaws or my frustrations, may I take a moment to recognize their humanity—their struggles, their experiences, and the complexity that makes them more than just a problem in my eyes.

Feel free to say this with me today and remind yourself.

Reminder today..

Bob Hutchins @bobhutchins.bsky.social · Jan 24

We are not robots buying products; we are humans chasing identities.
Know your audience. Their dreams, their fears, their hopes.
But FIRST, know yourself. Your perspective. Your values. Your purpose. That’s where genuine connection begins. A little self-awareness goes a long way. 🧠❤️

Measure what really matters.

Not all tasks are created equal. AI is brilliant at handling the repetitive, the things that drain time but not creativity. That’s where we step in—to do the remarkable, the human work of empathy and meaning-making. But let’s be honest with ourselves about the difference.

Stay safe out there.

The Michael Scott Trap: Why We Cling to Bad Decisions

Remember when Michael Scott, the endearingly misguided boss from "The Office," refused to give up on his "Scott's Tots" promise, even when it was painfully clear he couldn't deliver?

Instead of focusing on claiming ground or planting flags, a more meaningful approach is to set intentions and contribute to existing flows of knowledge, work, kindness, and human flourishing.
