Episode notes
Gap in AI Readiness Views
- There is a significant gap between leaders and employees on AI readiness; 78% of leaders feel confident about AI while only 39% of employees agree.
- This disconnect is partly due to rapid decisions and restructuring that leave employees feeling unsupported and directionless without middle management.
Ask About AI Roadmap
- When interviewing, ask about the company's AI usage and roadmap to gauge their AI adoption and culture.
- Lack of a clear AI roadmap or answer can indicate poor communication or undeveloped strategy in the organization.
Show Your AI Growth Mindset
- If asked about AI use in interviews, show how you have started small and integrated AI habits in your personal or work life.
- Demonstrate a growth mindset and willingness to upskill, which signals potential and adaptability to employers.
