AI Makes Bad Managers

a year ago

Using AI for performance assessments can hinder managerial growth by skipping essential skill-building exercises.
Great managers develop fluency through experience, including hard conversations and careful feedback, which AI cannot replicate.
Performance assessments require precision, empathy, and strategic thinking—qualities that AI lacks and managers must cultivate.
AI is a helper, not an abstraction, and should not replace critical managerial tasks that build core skills.
Use AI for repetitive tasks (e.g., resume screening) but keep human involvement in areas like feedback and career growth.
Avoid relying on AI for ambiguous or human-centric tasks, as these are opportunities to develop managerial expertise.
