Manager Conversations

AI can help employees work faster, but managers shape whether that speed turns into better work and better business outcomes.

This workshop gives managers practical ways to lead employees who are already using AI at work. Managers learn to measure the capacity AI creates and practice directing that recovered time toward a clear priority. They also learn how to delegate work so ownership stays with the human, coach people to use their own judgment before AI recommendations, and set review points for effective human oversight of AI-assisted work.

Participants leave better equipped to strengthen employee judgment, critical thinking, and ownership while getting more value from AI-assisted work.

 Managing People in AI-Enabled Work, Like:

Clear then Steer

Method

Clear then Steer helps managers determine where AI creates usable capacity and decide how to put that capacity to work intentionally.

Managers first look at the full task, including the time an employee still needs to direct AI, check its work, make corrections, and complete the job. Once they understand the real time saved, they set a clear intention for how employees can use that additional capacity.

The payoff: more realistic productivity expectations, clearer priorities, and a better chance that AI-driven time savings translate into greater impact across the organization.

What This Workshop Delivers

During this workshop, participants will:

  • Determine whether AI has created meaningful time savings after accounting for the full work required to use it.
  • Use the science-backed Clear then Steer Method to set expectations for how employees should direct time saved by AI toward a strategic priority.
  • Coach employees through changes in capacity rather than assuming they will know what to do with the extra time.
  • Use the Attention Before Action Behavior when delegating and coaching so employees think critically before relying on AI recommendations.
  • Help employees question, verify, and add their own judgment to AI-assisted work.
  • Delegate AI-assisted work in ways that keep ownership with the employee.
  • Identify which moments in consequential work require closer human review.
  • Evaluate five critical conditions for ensuring team members have what they need to own and defend work they use AI for.
  • Design Selective Oversight statements that focus attention where it matters most without creating unnecessary review burden.

After this workshop, participants will know how to:

  • Shared language for coaching stronger judgment, ownership, and AI use across their team.
  • A Clear then Steer statement for a real task on their team, including the capacity AI creates and the priority that capacity should support.
  • A practical approach for coaching employees through AI-driven time savings and setting clearer expectations for how that time gets used.
  • Language for delegating and coaching with Attention Before Action for a real piece of work, designed to keep employee judgment and critical thinking involved.
  • A checklist to ensure team members have what they need to own and defend AI-assisted work.
* Workshop details reflect the 120-minute workshop format.

How this workshop accelerates your AI transformation

Managing People in AI-Enabled Work helps managers turn time savings into useful capacity, coach employees to stay engaged in the thinking, and give people the conditions they need to review AI-assisted work well. Managers learn to set realistic productivity expectations without treating every minute saved as instant capacity. They delegate in ways that strengthen critical thinking and support employees without taking ownership of the work away from them. The goal is to help managers get more value from AI-enabled work while continuing to develop capable, thoughtful people.
