Key Takeaways 

• Lead for outcomes, not hours: Replace time tracking with specific, accountable KPIs tied to growth (e.g., qualified leads, engagement that converts).

• AI is leverage, not a replacement for thinking: Treat models like capable assistants; your prompts, review, and decisions still set quality.

• Creativity shifts, it doesn’t vanish: Prompt crafting, iteration, and system design are new creative muscles—train them.

• Make fear actionable: Job security comes from being indispensable—deliver outsized outcomes your company can’t replace.

• Clarify role expectations in an AI stack: Define which tasks are human-led vs. AI-assisted; document workflows so gains persist beyond individuals.

• Reframe performance reviews: Measure contribution to pipeline, product velocity, and customer outcomes; reward efficiency improvements.

• Communicate the “why” of AI: Share how AI expands capacity and career paths to reduce resistance and increase adoption.

• Leaders set the guardrails: Ethical use, data hygiene, and human oversight remain leadership responsibilities—even as automation scales.

• Zoom out on the trend, zoom in on execution: Macro debates will continue; your advantage comes from what AI improves in your business today.

• Invest in team enablement: Training, shadow prompts, and playbooks turn ad-hoc hacks into repeatable performance.
