Leveraging AI in Leadership
- Use AI to boost efficiency but don't automate personal relationships.
- Empower your team to suggest AI uses, increasing ownership and engagement.
Share Decision Context Transparently
- Share context and decision-making logic to reduce employee disconnect.
- Invite feedback so employees understand alternative considerations and feel involved.
