I can’t believe how bad, unprepared, and still predictable the Bengals are coming out of the bye week. I’m turning to watch UK Volleyball against Texas AM instead.
57% of employees who use AI at work say they hide it and present AI work as their own (Melbourne/KPMG, 2025).
A policy can say the tool is permitted. It can't promise people won't be judged.

"It says I can use AI for drafting. Does that include the board memo?"
The question she doesn't ask: what will people think of me if I do?
Training ends. Leadership begins.

Middle managers sit at two tables, and each one expects full loyalty. The job isn't to pick a side. It's to find the sweet spot on the push-pull line between them, and hold it. New Field Notes: #Leadership #MiddleManagement blog.eqlead.com/whose-side-a…
The AI launch report is all green.
Then a 19-year veteran asks: "If the summary is wrong and my name is on the file, who owns that?"
Technical readiness is a date. Human readiness is a state.

Are you a $300-an-hour leader doing $30-an-hour work? “It’s just faster if I do it” only feels faster today. My new EQLead Field Note on delegating well: Train, Delegate, Trust, Review.

The dashboard says sentiment is up.
Three floors down, a team is quietly updating résumés. They never posted in a monitored channel or took the survey.
The algorithm didn't miss their message. There was no message to find.

Wow, almost as if everyone in the world knew the way to run against the Bengals was on the edges and not the interior.
Leahlytics highlighted this on IG.
Texans only had 4 outside runs and one jet sweep (chart via pff below). Disgusting
Two findings. Both true.
AI assistance raised support agents' productivity about 15% (Brynjolfsson et al., 2025).
Worker concern about losing a job to AI roughly doubled in a year (Boston Fed, 2026).
The gain is real. So is the employee interpretation.

The greatest succession risk may not be in the C-suite. It may be the veteran employee no one planned to replace.

Tell a team an AI tool will cut 25% off a recurring task.
Leaders hear capacity. An employee may hear: Will I be expected to do 25% more? Will my experience still matter?
That's the AI Efficiency Interpretation Gap.

An AI gave a fast, confident answer. It was also wrong.
New research: people are far more likely to accept a bad AI recommendation when it just sounds sure of itself.
Confidence isn't competence. Week 2 of my AI-EI series breaks down how to tell the difference.
Here's the first in a 10-post series on the synergy between AI implementation and Leadership EI. If you work in an organization considering, deploying or managing artificial intelligence, this will resonate with you. blog.eqlead.com/the-ai-busin…
Same supervisor. Same words. Very different result.
Trust determines how much latitude your tone has — and it isn't built by time alone.
