Leadership is moving beyond the jagged frontier of what machines can do. Artificial Intelligence is not yet Artificial General Intelligence, yet the boundary of machine capability continues to advance. The space of tasks that require human-only intervention shrinks each quarter as new language models pair with agentic tooling to run longer chains of execution with less supervision. Competence that once demanded firms, teams, or specialist expertise now sits within reach of motivated individuals, sometimes on a single high-end consumer GPU.

Agency is diffusing. Execution power is no longer a privilege reserved for large organisations because it is being unbundled and placed directly in individual hands. With the right orchestration, anyone can behave like a chief executive who directs an army of digital staff. This is not the singularity, yet it is already a strategic revolution.

Artificial Intelligence is lowering the barriers to leadership and execution. Where once it took capital, staff, and infrastructure to start and scale an initiative, today an individual with an agentic stack of models and tools can operate at a level that resembles a small firm. The essential resources of production, including knowledge, labour, and coordination, are increasingly commoditised and available to anyone who is motivated enough to use them.
