As a retired CEO currently serving as executive coach, I spend an inordinate amount of my time steeped in management theory and tactics that CEOs can use to be the best leaders possible.

Like many of you, I’ve been playing with AI and ChatGPT a lot lately, and wanted to get a sense for its abilities to give leadership advice. I was curious to see if it could mix business and spirituality, as that’s something I’ve been exploring a lot in my life.

So naturally — I asked it to provide me…

Ten Commandments for CEOs of Companies in Modern Times:

  1. Thou shalt prioritize the well-being of thy employees and customers above all else.
  2. Thou shalt not engage in unethical practices, such as bribery, insider trading, or price fixing.
  3. Thou shalt strive for transparency and honesty in all business dealings.
  4. Thou shalt respect the privacy and security of customer and employee data.
  5. Thou shalt not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
  6. Thou shalt be environmentally responsible and minimize the company’s impact on the planet.
  7. Thou shalt not engage in monopolistic practices that harm competition and consumers.
  8. Thou shalt be socially responsible and give back to the community.
  9. Thou shalt create a positive and inclusive company culture that values diversity and promotes equality.
  10. Thou shalt always strive for innovation and continuous improvement, while remaining mindful of the potential risks and unintended consequences of new technologies and business practices.

Great article, Peter! Look forward to more insights on how business leaders can embrace AI as opposed to ignoring it out of inertia/fear of change.
