In this episode of our special season, SHIFTERLABS leverages Google LM to demystify cutting-edge research, translating complex insights into actionable knowledge. Today, we dive into “Superagency in the Workplace: Empowering People to Unlock AI’s Full Potential”, a compelling study by Hannah Mayer, Lareina Yee, Michael Chui, and Roger Roberts, published in January 2025.
Drawing from extensive research—including surveys of over 3,600 employees and 238 C-suite executives—this report examines the real-world adoption of AI in the workplace. The findings are striking: employees are three times more likely than their leaders realize to use AI tools in their daily work. Yet, despite this readiness, organizations face a leadership gap—92% of companies plan to invest more in AI, but only 1% have reached true AI maturity.
What’s holding businesses back? The study reveals that the biggest barrier to AI success isn’t technology—it’s leadership. From overcoming resistance at the executive level to implementing AI safely and at scale, this episode explores the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into modern workplaces.
Join us as we unpack the concept of Superagency, inspired by Reid Hoffman’s vision of AI as a tool to amplify human creativity and productivity. How can leaders step up? What are the key strategies for empowering employees to harness AI effectively? And how can companies bridge the gap between AI hype and real-world impact?
🔍 This episode is part of our mission to make AI research accessible, bridging the gap between innovation and education in an AI-integrated world.
