From Presence to Contribution: The Four Codes to Becoming More


Listen Later

Summary:  Jeremy Victor and regular contributor Rick Dzavik explore The MORE Effect’s four codes—Presence, Possibility, Connection, and Contribution—and how leaders can combine AI’s speed and data with distinctly human qualities like context, ethics, and judgment. 

Description: In this episode of Business at the Speed of AI, host Jeremy Victor and contributor Rick Dzavik dive deep into The MORE Effect framework and its four codes for human-centered leadership:

  • Presence — cultivating attention, awareness, and trust
  • Possibility — staying optimistic and resilient through change
  • Connection — leading with kindness and social awareness
  • Contribution — executing with integrity and effectiveness

Together, they explore what it really means to be human in an AI-first world, how to balance efficiency with empathy, and why courage, hope, and optimism remain timeless advantages. The conversation closes on a lighthearted Mad Libs moment—a reminder that joy and humor are also part of great leadership.

Takeaway: If AI brings speed and scale, humans bring meaning. The path to “becoming more” starts with Presence and ends with Contribution.
