Goldman Sachs' president implies employees may not be that special - eFinancialCareers

Goldman Sachs just compared its own employees to an assembly line.

That's not a warning for big banks. That's a signal for you.


Here's what most business owners miss: the companies winning with AI aren't replacing people. They're replacing repetitive steps — the predictable, repeatable parts of the job that drain your team's time every single day.

You probably already know which tasks those are. The ones your team does on autopilot. The ones that eat hours but require zero judgment.

That's exactly where AI belongs first.


The mistake wasn't buying the wrong tool. It was skipping the step before the tool — identifying the one specific, repeatable process worth automating. No consultant walked you through that. Most don't.


Start here: write down the three tasks your team does every week that follow the exact same steps every time. No exceptions, no judgment calls. Just process.

That list is your AI roadmap. One of those tasks is your first win — measurable, low-risk, and achievable within 30 days.

No coding. No system overhaul. No team restructuring.


What's the one repetitive task in your business you wish someone else could handle tomorrow?
