Title: Anyone smart can derive the answer, the magic is in knowing the right questions to ask..
Review: I recently had the privilege of reading “The AI-Driven Leader” by Geoff Woods, a book that emerged from the author’s deep dive into the intersection of AI and business strategy. Having met Geoff Woods and found his background and passion for business strategy exceptional, I was eager to explore his insights on how AI could transform leadership.Structure and ContentThe book is meticulously organized into three main sections:Historical Impact of Technology on Business Leaders: This section provides a riveting historical context of how technological inflections have shaped the business landscape over time. The cases of Apple under Steve Jobs, the resurgence of Domino’s Pizza through tech innovation, and the unfortunate downfall of Blockbuster and Nokia are especially compelling. Woods skillfully connects these stories to demonstrate the critical nexus of strategy and technology.Integrating AI into Leadership: Unlike many resources that offer a list of AI applications, Woods presents an elegant and powerful methodology for integrating AI into business strategy. One standout strategy is to “Make AI your strategic thought partner” — using AI to conduct interviews and ask probing questions about your strategy, execution plans, and stakeholder involvement. This approach moves beyond using AI for mundane tasks and leverages it to enhance leadership effectiveness.Implementation Roadmap: The final section is a practical guide for embedding these strategies into an organization. Covering essential business planning steps—clarifying objectives, mapping stakeholders, gathering and analyzing information, identifying solutions, planning implementation, and delivering results—this section integrates AI seamlessly into each step, making the process faster and more effective. The examples provided are practical and inspirational for implementing changes across an organization.Writing Style and AccessibilityGeoff Woods adopts a clear, accessible writing style that is exceptionally accommodating for readers without a deep technical background. The effective use of real-world case studies and practical examples makes complex concepts easy to grasp. A handy feature is the “20% that matters the most” section at the end of each chapter, summarizing key points and making it easy for readers to distill essential information.Impact and ConclusionOne of the most impactful lessons from the book is the integration of AI into OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), a framework popularized by John Doerr in “Measure What Matters.” “The AI-Driven Leader” is the perfect companion to OKR methodologies for anyone aspiring to succeed in the modern business environment. Both young managers seeking an edge and senior executives needing to stay sharp will find this book invaluable. I intend to make it a required reading for all business leaders in my organization and will recommend it to the entrepreneurs I work with.Areas for ImprovementWhile the book excels in many areas, there are a few suggestions for improvement. A consolidated section or accompanying workbook that places all the framework methodologies in one place could enhance usability. Additionally, when I read the book, the QR codes lead to the author’s website, which could link to interactive resources or guided exercises. The prompts in the appendix are helpful, but the book’s core message is about developing the right questions, not just copying prompts.Final Thoughts”The AI-Driven Leader” stands out as an exceptional business strategy guide and a timely resource for integrating AI into leadership. As one of my engineering professors once told me, “Anyone bright and hard-working can derive the answer. The magic is in knowing the right questions to ask.” This book encapsulates that wisdom by teaching leaders what to do with AI and how to think with AI.Geoff Woods has crafted a book that is both unique and essential for today’s business leaders. It blends timeless strategy principles with innovative AI applications. “The AI-Driven Leader brilliantly shows that the true power of AI lies not just in the answers it can provide but in the profound questions it can help us ask. I recommend it to anyone looking to stay competitive in an era of rapid technological change.

Title: Must Read this and share with your team.
Review: This is a must read. I have been referring this book to everyone I know. It was referred to me and I am grateful for the shift it made in my day to day. It lives on my desk for the last month. I have been using Ai often to accomplish tasks but this book helped me realize it’s just as valuable in using as a thought partner, colleague and experienced advisor that helps me organize my thoughts.

Title: AI for leadership and strategy…not just a replacement for Google
Review: Geoff has given a true gift to every leader searching for a way to leverage AI to produce better outcomes for all stakeholders. Until now, I have approached my relationship with AI as a glorified task-master and research director. But with the wisdom and practical insights in this book, I have transformed my leadership capabilities and my use of AI to become a world-class strategist seizing upon the true power available through AI and large language models. In my opinion, every leader should read this book and diligently seek to apply its practical advice for their organization. It is full of general wisdom on leadership and strategy, combined with how-to guides and tasks so that AI can transform and improve work for leaders and their teams. The book is very well published, with a solid layout, excellent real life case studies, great chapter summaries, and many AI prompts to immediately apply what you learn. I found myself constantly moving from the book to AI interfaces and back again, experimenting and learning as I went. Such a great experience! In just seven days of reading the entire book and applying what I learned, I feel I am well-prepared to enter this new technological frontier and take full advantage of all it has to offer! – Ted Kerr, Founder/CEO of Touchstone Capital Ventures, Inc. and multiple businesses
