We're hearing from many IT light businesses like farming and manufacturing that they're paralyzed on where to start on their #AI journey. 👇 Most common reasons: ➡️ Lack of understanding of AI capabilities beyond personal ChatGPT use. ➡️ Lack of strategy for AI data governance, privacy and security with employees. ➡️ Fear of impact on a longstanding and loyal workforce. We'll be providing guidance on how to break this paralysis on our Leadership Lab this Thursday 3/13/25 @ 1 PM EST. Come join us!

Example of #AI techno-optimism from a customer call today... Customer has techs that run routes to residential homes. Their work is highly regulated. The tech has to know which chemical to apply and how based on the jurisdiction, edifice type, and weather conditions. The customer pays fines and risks lawsuits for application errors. They spend 20 - 40 hours per week in tech and management's time double checking before application. An AI agent trained on regulatory and manufacturer datasets would release a manager to focus on sales. Best estimates, the manager can net 4 - 6 new contracts per week with this reclaimed time. This translates to 25% net new YoY growth which would translate into 5 - 7 net new hires to accommodate the growth in additional routes. We showed them a prototype today. They were blown away (so were we).

The fastest way to kill an AI initiative is to treat it like an IT upgrade instead of a business shift 🚨 Signs your AI rollout is in trouble: ❌ IT is leading the charge, but business teams aren’t on board ❌ Employees don’t trust or know how to use AI outputs ❌ Data silos make AI insights useless ❌ Business units are using unauthorized AI tools, creating security risks AI is not just another system to plug in. Without a structured strategy, it will cause more problems than it solves What excites (or terrifies) you about AI? Where do you see AI making the biggest impact in your industry right now? #AIadoption #BusinessStrategy #FutureOfWork

Was it a “bad hire” or a missed opportunity to lead? Too often a misunderstanding of roles, expectations, and working styles is the real reason someone is perceived as a "bad hire" A simple sit-down can change everything: 👉 What’s your role? 👉 What are my responsibilities? 👉 What are you great at? 👉 How can we collaborate better? At our last Leadership Lab, we explored the impact of early alignment and communication. The response? 🔥 Incredible. If you’re leading a team—or stepping into leadership—this is the space to refine your approach. Ready to shift the conversation from “bad hire” to better team? PS - The insights from our last session were too good to leave as a one-time thing—so we’re making this a series! Register today for the next Lab with Heide Garrigan & Tracey Seward

You Can’t "AI" Your Way Out of Bad Leadership Everyone’s talking about the talent shortage like it’s just about missing technical skills It’s not. The real problem? A leadership shortage Not enough people who know how to: 🔥 Have tough conversations 🔥 Make people feel seen & valued 🔥 Lead with trust instead of fear If you think leadership is just about keeping up with the latest tech trends, you’re already behind Because the people who actually make things happen? They follow leaders who get them, trust them, and support them You can train someone on AI. You can teach them a platform. But if they can’t connect, inspire, and communicate? Good luck keeping a team together. Check out this clip from our recent #LeadershipLab with Tracey Seward & Heide Garrigan Who are your favorite leaders you have worked for and with in your career? Tag them below :) #Leadership #SoftSkills #FutureOfWork #HumanFirst
