An employee at Block Inc just turned down a 75% pay raise and quit. Not because AI took her job — but because it took her colleagues' jobs. She couldn't shake the guilt of staying.
That story probably feels distant from your world. But here's what it quietly tells you about AI implementation that most consultants never mention.
How you introduce AI into your business matters as much as which AI you choose.
The companies struggling most right now aren't just picking bad tools. They're dropping new technology into their teams with zero context, zero conversation, and zero buy-in. Then wondering why nobody uses it.
Your team doesn't need to fear AI. They need to understand what problem it's solving — and why it makes their work easier, not expendable.
One practical step: before your next AI tool purchase, spend 30 minutes asking your team which repetitive task drains them most. That answer tells you exactly where to start. Small, focused, and something your people will actually want to use.
What's been the bigger obstacle for you — finding the right AI tool, or getting your team to actually use it?
