Is AI something you use solo, or has it changed how you work with your team?

Most teams seem to have a mix right now: someone who's all in, someone who's curious but cautious, and someone who'd rather not touch it. That range shapes how much you can actually bring AI into the way you collaborate.

 

So I'm curious: has AI changed how you work with the people around you, or does it mostly stay in your own lane? And what does adoption actually look like on your team -- are people moving together, or is it more scattered?

 

Whether you're the person evangelizing it in every meeting or the one quietly using it while your team hasn't caught on yet, I'd love to hear how you're navigating it. Drop your honest take below. 👇

All I can say is in every possible case I’m gently promoting the use of AI as a requirement. Sometimes this is verbally, but other times it’s practically - e.g. I’ll hand off some high level analysis of an issue I dug into with the expectation of “load this into Claude and resolve the bug”.

 

That may sound heavy-handed and dogmatic, but it’s coming from a place of care for the people on my team. Gently forcing AI is not for me and the increased team efficiency that will give value to me, but for them. AI is not a value-add tool, it’s the way the work is done now, and if I don’t gently push my team members through this adoption curve, it’s they who will experience pain in their career. I care too much to let that happen to them.

 

Thankfully what I’ve seen is that once team members dip a toe in, the acclimation to the new way of working is often quite quick.

    I love this approach and way of thinking! 

    For the skeptics, I think it often comes down to not knowing where to start or not having had that wow/light bulb moment yet. Once they do, it tends to click fast.

    And you're right -- AI isn't just a tool, it's the present day reality and our future. And as leaders we have a real responsibility to bring our peers and teams along for that journey.

    Curious: what's the one thing you wish someone had shown you earlier that would have sped up your own adoption?
