Small-business question
How do I stay in control when AI helps with many projects?
By Rick Hesse ·
Short answer
The short answer
Set direction, give the work enough context, review the result, and keep approval for important actions. AI can carry preparation and detail while you remain responsible for the decisions.
Where this fits in a real small business
Rick compares this to managing work: a manager does not perform every task, but still establishes direction and reviews what others produce. The same discipline applies to AI-assisted work.
One useful next step
Mark the next review point for each active project. Make clear what AI may prepare and what waits for your decision.
