The AI Rollout Mistakes Leaders Keep Making

AI adoption doesn't fail because of the technology;, it fails when employees don't trust how it's being introduced. Woody Woodward, chief coaching officer at BetterUp, explains why leaders should replace broad AI usage mandates with focused, team-driven experimentation. Woodward also shares practical strategies for introducing AI thoughtfully, earning employee trust, and empowering teams to make AI work for them rather than against them.  Subscribe to The AI+HI Project to get the latest episodes, expert insights, and additional resources delivered straight to your inbox: https://shrm.co/voegyz   ---  Explore SHRM’s all-new flagships.
