Every CEO in the room is being told AI changes everything. I want to know what it still can't touch.
Tony Lorenz, Partner at CEO Coaching International, spent three decades building, buying, and running companies before becoming an executive coach. In this episode, he makes the case that judgment, trust, and the ability to read a room only become more valuable as technology gets more powerful.
