Leah Clark joins the show to delve into a study by GP Strategies which surveyed leaders and individual contributors to assess their readiness for AI integration. The findings reveal high usage and enthusiasm for AI at work, but also highlight concerns about job elimination and ethical implications. The episode emphasizes the importance of leaders fostering open communication, psychological safety, and a growth mindset to successfully navigate AI-driven transformations.

It’s about creating that environment of psychological safety and growth mindset, so encouraging in yourself as a leader and in others, that sense of experimentation and failure, experimentation and learning, making it okay to use AI and to admit that you’re using it.
