Hey, could you finish that new strategy deck by end of day today instead of next Friday? The CMO wants it ASAP. Oh, I have those other client projects due today. I'm not sure I can squeeze it all in. But can't you just use AI to do it? Have it help you build the narrative and the slides. We all need to be thinking about how we can use AI to move faster. Hey, I'm going to give you three possible ways to respond to this, but I can't do all of the thinking for you. Before you respond, there are two aspects of your personal career context that you should consider. First, how important is this project to you? Is this more or less a throwaway task, or are you relying on this for your portfolio? And second, what is your future with this company look like? Do you already have one foot out the door, or are you needing to stay put? Don't set a precedent you can't maintain. Okay, here are three ways to respond. Sure, I can send you a basic draft today. It'll essentially be a Claude output because of the other stuff that's on my plate. Okay, I can send you a draft today, but I'm concerned it won't meet our standards for quality. The data analysis and the examples will be a bit rushed, so I'd still like to send you the complete version by our original deadline of next Friday. My career goal this year is to work on my strategic delivery of plans like this one, so I don't want my performance to depend on what I was able to piece together in just a few hours. Can we send the CMO a few bullet points as a preview and say that the complete deck will be worth the time investment? I can draft some preview takeaways for you now.
