Book: The Coming Disruption by Fred Voccola

Why We Love It: This book explores how artificial intelligence is transforming businesses, leadership, and the future of work at a pace unlike any previous technological shift. Fred Voccola argues that organizations can no longer treat AI as a side project or future consideration. Instead, leaders must embrace an “AI First” mindset and rethink how work is organized, decisions are made, and value is created. The book challenges readers to move beyond traditional management practices and focus on adaptability, innovation, speed, and continuous learning. It serves as both a wake-up call and a practical guide for navigating an increasingly AI-driven world.

Takeaway Tip: Identify one repetitive task you perform each week and explore how AI can help streamline, simplify, or automate it. Small improvements today can build the mindset and habits needed to thrive in a rapidly changing workplace.
