How to Lead a Team of People and AI Agents
In this video
What you'll learn
Structuring the work across people and agents
Learn the art of structuring your work: human-only, agent-owned, or paired, and how to spot the ones you've mis-sorted.
Manage your team of agents & people as a coherent system
Master the mechanisms - shared goals, guardrails, and signals - that let humans and agents operate as one system.
Lead your people up the value chain
Develop your people with high-judgment competencies that enable them to move up the value chain.
Why this topic matters
Every leader is told to "adopt AI." Almost no one is taught how to lead a team that now includes it. The result: work gets duplicated, agents underperform, and your best people resent the mandate. Not an AI problem — a leadership one. The leaders who pull ahead will be the ones who redesign the team so humans and agents work in synchrony, on purpose. That's what this talk is about.
