AI is already showing which workflows have real impact and which ones exist out of habit. Busywork disappears when machines can do it better.
The teams that suffer first are the ones built on repetitive tasks with little strategy behind them. The ones that thrive use AI as leverage to move faster, test more ideas and focus on judgment, not routine.
The truth is that AI is not replacing talent. It is replacing inefficiency.
Still, fear slows adoption. Some managers see AI as competition instead of a tool. Some employees avoid it because they think “using AI” means losing their role.
But the teams that lean into it are already ahead.
What do you think? Is AI actually removing jobs, or is it just revealing who adds real value?
