What companies are going to prevail in this post-AI world? Those that build the right cultures. In inventive work, the best teams outperform the average ones by 10X. There is a huge premium on building creative, effective teams of the best caliber in AI. Today, I write in Fortune about how re-defining corporate culture is the most overlooked aspect of building a successful AI-enabled company. Today's leaders don't pound their fists on the table and talk about how they're crushing it. They have the courage to simply be vulnerable.
