Is AI Making Your Team Anxious? What Leaders Should—and Shouldn’t—Do
AI is everywhere—but not everyone is excited. In this episode, we explore the growing anxiety employees feel about AI and what leaders can do when they don’t have all the answers. Susie and James unpack new survey data, generational differences in AI concerns, and the deeper fear many employees have: What’s my value if AI can do my job faster?
Rather than offering silver-bullet solutions, this episode returns to foundational leadership principles—transparency, upskilling, empathy—and reconsiders how they apply in a time of rapid change and uncertainty.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
- Why younger employees may feel more threatened by AI than seasoned leaders.
- How to support your team through uncertainty without pretending to have all the answers.
- Why good leadership still works—even when the future is unpredictable.
