The question is not whether AI can write a warmer note than you can. It almost certainly can. The question is whether you still want to be the kind of leader whose people never have to wonder. #TheEmpathyOutsource #HumanFactor #Leadership #empathy #emotion hubs.ly/Q04ymLd90

Trust migrates quietly. First we verify what the machine produces, then we defer to it. I call it the Confidence Transfer, and it is how organizational expertise erodes without anyone deciding to let it go. Read more: hubs.ly/Q04ymJ0S0
