PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

A handout. A workbook. Your next step.

Managers using AI for preparation, organization, and clearer decisions.

Use AI to support defined management tasks while keeping responsibility with the people who lead and perform the work. Start with a task whose inputs and quality criteria can be explained clearly.

Inside the resources

  • Choose a recurring task with a concrete output. Drafting an agenda or organizing approved notes is easier to evaluate than a vague request to improve management.
  • Use information you are authorized to provide. Remove unnecessary personal details, and follow the rules of your organization and approved tools.
  • Keep decisions and accountability explicit. An AI-generated recommendation does not decide priorities, evaluate people, or accept responsibility for an outcome.

Workbook exercises

  • Select a manageable task
  • Define the review standard
  • Design the human handoff
