The MACH-10 Leader: AI-Native Leadership at Decision Speed by award-winning author Jason M. Riggs.
Award-winning author Jason M. Riggs introduces practical frameworks to reduce decision latency, clarify ownership, and preserve human judgment in the AI era.
ENCINITAS, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As worldwide AI spending is forecast to reach $2.59 trillion in 2026, according to Gartner, organizations are discovering a critical bottleneck: faster technology cannot fix slow, unclear, or overly cautious corporate decision-making. In his new book, The MACH-10 Leader: AI-Native Leadership at Decision Speed, award-winning author Jason M. Riggs argues that technology is moving faster than the leadership systems responsible for managing it.
The book, the second installment in The MACH-10 Leadership Series, gives executives, founders, product leaders, and operators a practical model for leading faster without losing human judgment, ownership, or accountability.
“AI is exposing leadership problems that were already there,” said Riggs. “The companies that win in this era will know when to move fast, who owns the call, and where human judgment still matters.”
Unlike typical AI books that treat technology as the final decision-maker, The MACH-10 Leader positions AI as an accelerant that demands stronger human judgment, clearer ownership, and more accountable execution. Riggs introduces actionable operating frameworks designed to fix the core execution problems AI makes harder to ignore:
Decision Latency: The organizational delay and institutional drag that turn strong strategy into late execution.
The Godzilla Effect: Riggs’ term for small, unresolved decisions that quietly compound into massive, team-consuming problems.
Automation Theater: The growing corporate trend of teams generating endless AI reports, summaries, and digital activity that no one actually acts on.
“Fast leadership still requires judgment,” Riggs said. “The real work of an AI-native leader is knowing which decisions need speed, which need depth, and which are quietly rotting while everyone waits for consensus.”
