I manage a team of 15 and half of them are worried AI will replace their jobs. Morale is dipping, people are either ignoring AI entirely or panicking about it. I need a 90-day plan to help my team understand AI's real impact on our work, upskill where it matters, and come out stronger instead of scared.
Plan for: Prepare Your Team for AI Disruption: A Manager's 90-Day Playbook
Developers might accidentally paste proprietary code or API keys into free, public AI models, leading to data leaks.
Create a clear, one-page 'Do Not Share' checklist. Emphasize using AI for conceptual questions and boilerplate, not proprietary business logic.
Highly anxious team members might resist participating or become defensive during discussions.
Lead with empathy. Share your own vulnerabilities and learning curve with AI. Reiterate that human context is irreplaceable.
AI might generate plausible but incorrect or insecure code (hallucinations).
Reinforce that AI is a junior assistant. All AI-generated code must be thoroughly reviewed and tested by the human developer.
