“It’s not for me, it’s for my team!” We are not talking about AI… but google. A forgotten 2009 report explains why managers who delegate hands-on use become obsolete, and why the AI trap is worse.
This is a crucial reminder: managers can’t just delegate AI work and assume they understand its impact. Staying hands-on is the only way to maintain judgment and authority in a rapidly evolving AI-driven environment. Your frameworks for dual visibility and frontier fluency are practical, actionable, and exactly what leaders need today.
This piece really made me thinj. Your point on 'Delegation Blindness' is so insightful. I wonder if the focus should also be on developing better objective performance metrics within the AI tools themselves.
Interesting… but do you mean the tool would better evaluate if it completes the task correctly or not ? in any case there is a kind of white space on the way Ai can help / assist teams (as opposed to Ai helping individuals). A lot of things to design there !
The problem is lack of structured approach to adoption. Everyone’s “expected” to adopt with no foundations laid in place which creates confusions and opens up a lot of subjectivity on “adoption “
