Will Gen AI hurt middle managers - or help them ?
Middle managers are the backbone of any organization and confront endless administrativia — and in many cases, #burnout.
Will Gen AI threaten their job or lessen their burden ?
What do #you believe 🤔

Great question! Gen AI has the potential to be a double-edged sword for middle managers. On one hand, it can streamline administrative tasks and reduce burnout by automating routine processes. On the other hand, it might shift some responsibilities and require managers to adapt to new technologies.
Your AI strategy isn’t just about tech. It’s about people.
As Neil Harrison said on this week’s ChattingGPT, “Without people, you just have technology sitting around gathering dust.” Tools alone don’t deliver change. It’s how people adapt to and embrace those tools that makes the difference.
Neuroscience is showing us more than ever how the brain reacts to fear, reward, and survival instincts. This understanding is key to planning and managing change mindfully. It’s about putting humans at the centre of the process.
Want to make AI work for your organisation? Start with your people. Hear the full conversation with Neil and Maryrose Lyons in this week’s episode.

“Empathy isn't just about connecting with someone's feelings, it's about asking, 'What comes next?' without immediately jumping into fixing the problem.” In this episode of Business is Human, I sit down with Liesel Mindrebo Mertes to explore the profound impact of empathy in the workplace and beyond. Together, we discuss how the industrial age has shaped our belief systems and why it's so important to shift towards more human-centric skills, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. Liesel also shares valuable insights from her work at Handle with Care Consulting, introducing empathy avatars like "Fix It Frank" and "Cheer Up Cheryl." These practical tools help foster trust and empowerment within teams, offering a fresh perspective on leadership.
