AI isn’t magic. It’s a mirror.

“Clarity is the elimination of mental clutter.”
— Steve Jobs

When it comes to AI, that’s not just advice. It’s a requirement.

Let’s say you ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to help you write about leadership.

Sounds simple — but what do you actually mean?
• Shakespearean ambition?
• Henry Ford and the assembly line?
• Leading a hybrid team across time zones?

AI doesn’t know unless you do. Because it’s not guessing your context — it’s reflecting your clarity.

Prompting isn’t about being clever. It’s about being precise. And here’s a golden rule:

Vague in → vague out.
Sharp in → sharp out.

So instead of:
“Write about leadership.”

Try:
“Draft a 300-word blog post on the challenges of leading hybrid teams, using real examples from the tech industry. Keep it practical and people-focused.”

AI isn’t magic. It’s a mirror.

And what you see depends on how clearly you ask.
