Tale as old as time right. Like the (horror story of a) boss that read a book and now thinks everything should be <insert buzzword>. Whether its a book, or AI, or a medium. Bad manager is going to bad manager. > Most of the people we spoke to noted that they do use AI in their work and personal lives, and believe it has value when used with caution and self-awareness. I think this is the crux. If we have this AI thing, how do we make human + AI this symbiotic relation? Because, in this article, clearly the answer isn’t “allow the manager to delegate their responsibilities to ChatGPT”.

People are idiots, yes, I do mean, we all are sometimes

Yeah. Personally don’t mind that at all. As long as we admit that we are idiots sometimes and try to make the best of the mess we created. Myself very much included ^^

I find it difficult to understand that people seem to stop thinking with every new shiny management thing. But here we are.

The more you work behind the scenes the more you realize most "bosses"don't know what they're doing. It's not like the higher up you go the better people are at their job, you have the same curve, so most people in charge of anything are average at best 😝

I found (as a boss of both hundreds and 5-10 size teams) that for me the best thing to do is to listen to those that can be trusted to do a great job when needed. I have strong personal opinions and found that i often neglected or underestimated parts of the problem or solution I lacked experience with. It is truly helpful to have people around you that can fill the gaps. Bosses imo are for making final decisions (which are usually offered by the team) and ensuring people can do their work in the most optimal way (essentially removing myself from the process as much as possible). I need to be there to let them do their jobs.
