Description

What if your biggest leadership problem isn't a lack of time, but how you're using it?

In this episode of The People Playbook, Jason Taylor sits down with Michael Cupps, Vice President of Data Intelligence Practice at Rulesware, author of The Time Bandit, and host of The Habit Architect Podcast.

Together they unpack why most organizations don't have a data problem — they have an intelligence problem. Michael shares why leaders are drowning in dashboards but starving for clarity, how unnecessary complexity quietly slows teams down, and why asking "why?" might be the most important question in business.

They also dive into:

• Why leaders lose time by saying yes to everything
• The difference between urgent work and important work
• How AI should eliminate friction instead of creating more noise
• Why consistency matters more than intensity in leadership
• The surprising habit top-performing leaders protect above all else

If you're a CEO, executive, or people leader looking to build a more focused team and reclaim your time, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
