Hi, I'm Bob Sutton.
The introduction of AI into the workplace creates opportunities and tensions, and confusion and fear too. Rebecca Hinds, head of Glean’s new Work AI Institute, and I collected and curated 100 ideas from leaders, technologists, and researchers about how AI just might accentuate the positive for leaders and organizations (get our report free here). We distilled these lessons in a Harvard Business Review article on competing forces that leaders wrestle with when implementing AI including centralization vs. decentralization, going fast vs. going slow, and top-down vs. bottom-up change.
Bob Sutton speaks about changing organizations for the better— including his seven-year friction project (on making the right things easier and the wrong things harder), scaling up excellence, and leading at scale. And about the fundamentals for modern leadership.
