Lead AI Adoption From the Trenches
Your team won't adopt AI because you sent a memo.
Leaders who announce AI from the mountaintop usually watch nothing change. As George said on HubHeroes, "you can't just sit on your mountaintop and say, hey. I want you all to start doing this." He led adoption on his own team by going first, sharing every prompt that worked in one Slack channel, and giving each human time for their own moment of insight. His co-host, who came to AI kicking and screaming, said that approach is what got her over the hump.
Who should be in the room
Executives, managers and team leads responsible for getting a whole team to use AI.
You'll walk away with
- The shared prompt channel George's team first found annoying, then used as a library
- Small prompts worth sharing, like telling AI to read your research without summarizing it back
- Why giving humans time beats a mandate ("I'm gonna beat you with this ruler... It would have never worked")
- "1% better each and every day" as George's answer to keeping up with AI
