Leading product in enterprise is different. The definition of smart is changing, and the people who built their careers on the old one are feeling it first. Technical brilliance and fast analysis — being the sharpest mind in the room — used to be the edge. Now it's the floor. AI raised the baseline.

The new edge is sensing what hasn't been said. Inferring what the data doesn't show. Seeing around corners before the problem arrives. Jensen Huang put it plainly: "people who are able to see around corners are truly smart" — and that person might score horribly on the SAT. It's judgment built from data, analysis, first principles, and life experience layered together.

The career path that rewarded being the smartest analyst is quietly rerouting. Start building the new edge now.
