The shift

How AI is changing the President role

AI now handles much of the reading and drafting that fills a President's calendar, from summarizing long board reports to preparing first drafts of speeches and letters. It can compare policy options side by side, surface questions you should be asking, and turn messy meeting notes into clear action items. The result is more time for the judgment calls and relationships that only you can manage.

What AI can take off your plate

  • Summarizing long board packets, reports, and contracts into one-page briefs
  • Drafting first versions of speeches, emails, and announcements
  • Turning meeting recordings into transcripts with action items and owners
  • Building comparison tables for budget or vendor decisions
  • Catching up on missed meetings and pulling out what needs your attention

What stays distinctly human

  • Making the final call on strategy, hires, and major spending
  • Building trust with the board, staff, donors, and partners
  • Reading the room and deciding when to push and when to wait
  • Taking responsibility publicly when something goes wrong
  • Setting the values and culture the organization actually lives by
