Drive Sophisticated AI Use on Your Team

Yesterday’s tip laid out what sophisticated AI use looks like at the individual level. As a leader, how can you drive this sophisticated approach to AI on your team? Start with these three tactics. 

Develop AI-first best practices. Make effective behaviors clear and repeatable. Turn them into practical playbooks, short explainers, and peer-led guidance. Reinforce what good AI use looks like daily so your team builds a shared understanding. 

Rethink upskilling. Focus on hands-on learning in the flow of work. Use scenario-based sessions that reflect real-world scenarios. Help your team practice delegating complex work, guiding reasoning, validating outputs, and refining results over time. 

Set clear expectations for growth and development. Define what good AI-enabled work looks like at the role and task level. Tailor expectations to different functions and contexts so they reflect real responsibilities, and clarify how AI should support decisions, improve quality, and shape outcomes.
