We are redesigning our Accountability Chart to support an AI-powered operation, but I am unsure how to objectively evaluate whether my current leadership team members actually GWC their updated, tech-forward seats. What is the process for this assessment?

Redesigning your Accountability Chart for an AI-powered operation is a smart move that will yield massive efficiency gains, but it requires a rigorous assessment of your team's capabilities. You must evaluate every leader against their updated roles using the GWC™ tool.

Start by updating the roles for each seat to reflect the new, tech-forward expectations. For example, your VP of Marketing's roles might now include leveraging AI tools for content generation and campaign optimization.

Next, ask yourself three simple questions for each leader: Do they Get It? Do they Want It? Do they have the Capacity to do it? Get It means they truly understand the strategic value of AI-powered operations. Want It means they are genuinely excited about learning and implementing these new tools. Capacity means they have the mental and physical bandwidth to master these technologies and lead their team through the transition.

If a leader fails any of these three criteria, you have a GWC™ issue. You cannot afford to keep a leader in a seat they do not GWC™, especially when you are building a modern, exit-ready business. Work with them to see if they can develop the capacity, or transition them to a seat that better fits their strengths.
