The AI Check-In for Leaders
90% of your people are using AI incorrectly.
AI isn’t just coming — it’s here (and on every phone in your organization).
90% of your people are using AI incorrectly.
This isn’t about being an AI expert — they don’t exist!
I’m fortunate to see how hundreds of organizations use AI today. Most are stuck replicating their current processes — better, faster, cheaper. This is a tragedy.
Why?
Because they’re competing against two people in a garage who are rethinking their entire industry natively with AI. Not just automating a 1990s process.
So, How Do You Lead Your Team To Rethink What’s Possible?
Step 1: Confront Fears Head-On.
AI concerns are real. They will underline every conversation you have with your team. Acknowledge them, address them, and keep moving forward.
Step 2: Set a Framework of AI Expectations
Regulated industries (e.g., medical, insurance) will move slower — Faster at the edge and slower in the center.
AI is full of hype and BS. Test. Iterate.
Step 3: Start with Small Wins
Build confidence and capabilities.
Do they know how to prompt effectively?
Can they access the data they need to load into AI?
Pick an easy win.
Example: Automate meeting notes. Simple. Immediate value.👇🏼
I Automate Meeting Notes With Fathom.AI 🕺🏻
It’s the only automated meeting tool I’ve used that transcribes accurately and doesn’t cause my computer to glitch.
It’s about leading through change — not mastering AI.
What I’m Most Excited About This Week 😍
