The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Congratulations to @MikeSievert for taking over and leading T-Mobile to incredible heights. Thank you for 13 years at T-Mobile and a great run as CEO.

[Alex Pottmeyer @AlexPottmeyer]

“Champions are made when nobody is watching.”

That was our offseason motto when I played football. It’s one of my favorites — and it perfectly captures the leader I saw in Mike.

I’ve been blessed to know and work with Mike for the last ten years, and what stands out isn’t the accolades or public successes, but the way he led when no one was watching.

He stood up for people when they weren’t in the room. He sought out the quietest voice at the table. He motivated through belief instead of fear. And he never wavered in fighting for what was right — for customers and for employees.

Most of all, he had a way of seeing potential in people before they saw it themselves, bringing out the best in them, turning the ordinary into extraordinary.

The headlines will capture the company’s success.

What I’ll carry with me are the moments of quiet belief and support — especially when I needed it most.

In my book, that’s what makes Mike a true champion of leadership.

[Mike Sievert @MikeSievert]

Today marks a milestone moment for @TMobile — and for me personally. I’m proud to share that @SriniGopalan, our COO, will succeed me as CEO, effective Nov. 1.

This transition comes at a time of extraordinary success and momentum for the Un-carrier. I've long said the best time to plan for what’s next is while you’re at the top — and without a doubt, Srini is the right leader to guide T-Mobile into a new era of growth, innovation and customer obsession.

I'll continue as vice chairman of the company and board, championing our leadership team and supporting our mission to be the best in the world at connecting customers to their world.

I’m incredibly optimistic about what’s ahead for our customers, our employees and our shareholders. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to lead Team Magenta. And the best is truly yet to come.

Please join me in congratulating Srini!
