What is happening
A shared headline is hiding different ideas about the work.
One leader sees a productivity tool. Another sees a new operating model. A third is worried about trust, accountability or the effect on their team. The programme can keep moving while those differences remain unspoken.
This is not necessarily resistance to AI. The team has not yet made a decision people can rely on.
What the leadership team needs to decide
- What is actually changing in the work?
- Which judgements must remain human?
- What should every leader be able to explain in the same way?
