Sonali Sharma, a systems strategist and award-winning impact entrepreneur working at the intersection of collective intelligence, organizational transformation, and AI trust joins Enterprise Radio. She is the author of the book The 90% Code: Rewriting Power for the AI Era.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Sonali Sharma discuss the following:
- What prompted you to write The 90% Code, and who exactly can benefit from reading it?
- AI is usually discussed as a technology or productivity story. You argue that it is really a story about power. What do you mean by that, and why should business leaders care?
- You write about the “Hero Model,” in which authority and decision-making are concentrated among a few people at the top. Why is that model becoming less effective?
- Many companies say they empower employees. How can leaders tell whether they are sharing real authority or simply engaging in what you call “empowerment theater”?
- The book contrasts two possible futures: techno-feudalism and distributed abundance. What do those terms mean, and which business decisions are moving us toward one future or the other?
- What is one practical step an entrepreneur or CEO can take now to distribute opportunity and decision-making without sacrificing accountability?
