AI Can't Do All The Managers' Work

from David Burkus Presents · host David Burkus

AI might make management more efficient. But efficiency isn’t the same thing as leadership. In this video, I break down four parts of management I would never delegate to AI and why keeping them human matters more as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in the workplace. AI can summarize meetings, organize information, draft emails, analyze data, and take a lot of administrative work off your plate. That’s a good thing. But there are some responsibilities managers shouldn’t automate away. 00:00 AI can do many things...but not everything. 00:10 Meet Dr. David Burkus 01:05 Don’t Let AI Decide “What” 02:28 Don’t Let AI Judge Your Team 04:44 Don’t Let AI Outsource The Conversation 06:11 Don’t Let AI Create Meaning // NEWSLETTER Want to build your best team ever?
