#585 AI Co-Thinking: How Leaders Think Better with AI, with Prof. Nathan Mauck | Niels Brabandt

Everyone has an opinion on AI, but how do leaders actually think better with it? In this episode of The Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt EMBA MBA MSc speaks with Professor Nathan Mauck, Professor of Finance at the Henry W. Bloch School of Management, UMKC, and co-author of "AI Co-Thinking: A Framework for Working with AI". Nathan Mauck explains why prompt engineering is the wrong place to start, the difference between using AI and thinking with AI, and why the bigger risk of AI is not cheating but trusting output you cannot judge. He introduces a simple matrix of decision stakes and personal expertise, and shares practical first steps for leaders who feel they are already behind. For executives, managers and decision-makers who want to use AI to improve their judgement rather than replace it.
