Being high agency means having five key skills that work together:

1. Clarity about goals - Know exactly where you are going and explain it so others understand
2. Grounded in reality - Read the situation accurately, not how you wish it was
3. Tackle the hardest thing first - Stop avoiding the big scary task and go after it
4. Be decisive and quick - Speed and boldness matter in today's world
5. Practice aggressive candor - Be completely honest with zero hesitation

These skills are all connected. Working on just one will not change your trajectory. You need to develop them together.

We are living through a massive shift from an industrial economy (just follow orders) to a creative economy (bring new ideas and make things happen). AI is now a powerful tool to help you track blind spots and grow faster than ever before.
