In a lot of service environments, half the team fears AI will take their job - and the other half hopes it frees them for something more meaningful.
The practical move is a both/and strategy: use automation where it helps, then free your people to deepen contact and connection with customers.
It's an augmentation of your team's capabilities, not a swing fully toward humans or fully toward tools.

The biggest AI rule breakers are not the interns: they're other people, in some cases the bosses.
A new report found 65% of senior decision makers are using unapproved AI tools, more than twice the rate of their employees.
If that innovative behavior is really important, it's useful to be explicit about that in your environment.
We often attribute our own rule-breaking to noble aims, and others' to a lack of discipline.
As a leader, you're visible, and people are watching what you model.

Especially in growth mode, everyone has great ideas, and it gets hard to decide which to do first and which to stage.
Since capacity isn't unlimited, it's worth slowing down to align on the strategic work that has to come first because other work depends on it.
When you upgrade the depth of conversation, you get to better decisions, and better decisions create more growth.

The Amazon workers were running AI on pointless busy work just so they could look good on a scoreboard.
What that tells us: people are motivated by gamification, but the focus there was not on measuring what really matters.
The dimensions that matter are whether you're getting someone's best thinking and most engaged work over time.
The only way to earn that is through alignment on objectives and a trust-based environment for open, candid conversations.

As AI takes the easier questions, support and technical people start wondering what their new job is.
The answer lives in your unique value proposition, which depends on a richer understanding of who your customers are and where their business is going.
The people you free up can learn curiosity-forward, question-asking behavior that enriches every customer contact.

Companies are pouring a ton of money into AI every quarter and getting less and less back.
Around 90% of budget goes to the technology itself, while training, redesign, and support get just 10-15%.
You don't need to fix every business process or legacy data set before you take action.
Instead, run controlled organizational experiments that fund training, engagement, and support.
That's how you apply your team's insights, not just your own, around creating value from the tool.

A recent report found 65% of senior decision makers use unapproved AI tools, more than twice the rate of their employees.
If that innovative behavior matters, it helps to be explicit about it.
I notice we often credit our own rule-breaking to noble aims, and others' to a lack of discipline, so the real question is which behaviors you want more of and how you model them.
What behaviors are you modeling for your team right now? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments 👇
The same companies that rushed into AI last year are now wondering if they lit their money on fire.
The successful implementations these days use AI as an augmentation teammate, not a full replacement of customer service or technical support.
People want to cultivate relationships (your employees want to, and your customers want relationships they can count on).
So talk about AI with your team as an aid, not a replacement.
Are you framing AI as an aid or a threat with your team? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments 👇
The assumption is simple - introduce the tools, train the people, and great outcomes will follow.
But that is not what so many experiments in the market are showing us.
In one controlled experiment, coders using AI took more than 20% extra time and were outperformed by colleagues not using AI at all.
The missing piece is thoughtful work redesign - marrying what the tool does well with the context, judgement, experience and view of a desirable future, that your people bring.
Start with the outcome, then manage both the people and the tool, toward it.

Most AI initiatives are not failing because of the technology.
They fail because of the sequence.
The pattern I see repeatedly across leadership teams is this: the tool gets chosen first, the training gets rolled out, the initiative gets launched - and then everyone waits for the results to follow.
But that is not how successful transformation works.
When you start with the tool, you essentially hope that clarity, alignment, and outcomes will somehow emerge on the other side of implementation.
They rarely do.
The teams that are actually seeing results from AI adoption do something fundamentally different.
They start with the goal - the specific outcome they need to create.
They design the process around the people doing the work before a single tool gets introduced.
And they anchor every decision to a concrete business need rather than launching AI as a broad, general initiative with vague expectations attached.
The difference between those two approaches is not small.
One produces momentum, measurable improvement, and real adoption.
The other produces busy teams, missed forecasts, and leadership conversations about why the initiatives are not delivering.
If your organization is sitting with an AI rollout that has stalled, or preparing to launch one, the most important question to ask is not which tool to use.
It is “What specific outcome are we trying to create”? And what’s our process to get to that outcome?
That is almost always the right place to begin. If that conversation is one your team needs to have, book a free coaching session to start it: https://metamg.com/book-a-call/
