What High-Performers Get Wrong About AI (And How to Get It Right)
High-performers pride themselves on doing things well—fast, efficiently, and at scale. But when it comes to AI, even the smartest operators can miss the mark.
They don’t underestimate AI—they misunderstand it.
The High-Performer Trap: "I Can Do It Faster Myself"
If you're used to being the most capable person in the room, it's easy to think:
"It'll take me less time to just do this myself."
That mindset might work short-term, but long-term, it’s a bottleneck. AI isn't here to compete with your speed or skill—it's here to scale it.
What High-Performers Often Get Wrong About AI
1. Waiting for Perfection
Many wait for AI tools to be "flawless" before trusting them.
Reality: AI improves with use. Iteration leads to impact.
2. Overcomplicating the First Step
They want to automate everything all at once.
Truth: Small, strategic wins build momentum.
3. Not Measuring ROI
High-performers are goal-driven, but often skip tracking time saved or errors reduced.
Solution: Benchmark before and after each automation.
4. Delegating Without Direction
Handing automation off without clarity leads to generic results.
Fix: Partner with experts who align AI with your unique processes.
What Getting It Right Looks Like
Start with Friction
Look for tasks that drain time and energy. Things like:
Repetitive emails
Manual reporting
Data entry
These are ripe for automation and deliver instant relief.
Think Like a Systems Builder
Shift from "doing more" to "designing better." The question isn't "how fast can I work?" but "how fast can this run without me?"
