The Invisible Tax
AI makes capable organizations faster. It can make disconnected organizations faster at the wrong things. **The Invisible Tax** combines an original business story with a practical framework for diagnosing the hidden coordination costs that accumulate between teams, functions, and leaders. It shows why technology alone cannot repair weak direction, broken flow, slow learning, or relationships that cannot carry shared accountability under pressure. For leaders navigating AI transformation, organizational change, and cross-functional work, this is a book about finding the real constraint before investing in another solution.
