But now, LLMs offer a beautiful new promise: your brilliant notions can proceed full speed without any pesky underlings at all!

You can just •build the app• or •launch the campaign• or whatever, and nobody will tell you annoying things like “that won’t work” or “that timeline is unrealistic” or “that will create even larger problems” or “people will die.” The chat LLM is there to say YES to your hitherto-unacknowledged brilliance!

I am being a bit cheeky, but I really do think this is a powerful psychological force that shapes orgs far more than we realize: it can be emotionally damaging to have people tell you “no” or question your ideas, and leadership means getting that •all the time•. People in management / executive positions — who are in fact very much people, all too human — will go to great lengths to protect their own psyches from the injury of pushback.

This is a •powerful• force in orgs.
