There will undoubtably be language changes with AI as with other major technologies.
One funny one I thought of:
“I’ll have my people talk to your people”
becomes
“I’ll have my bots talk to your bots”

It’s raining money with AI
Some ideas about how to think about AI opportunities …
How to get better results from AI
… and what are different “flavors” of AI bots?
An informal discussion with Steven Bowman, software guru and AI expert:
An example of non performance management
Intuit laid off 1,800 this summer and plans to rehire about as many.
Set aside the AI shift as part of the reason for the moment …
“More than 1,000 of the people being let go were not meeting performance expectations.”
Why were the non-performers only NOW let go?
It’s somewhat hard to believe that more than a 1,000 people – 6% or more of the workforce – suddenly became “non-performing” …
The problem will likely repeat in the future unless leaders/managers become “performing.”
Clearing out non-performers as part of a bigger layoff or focus shift is easy.
Leading and managing for high performance day-to-day is harder.
Not doing it is leadership and management failure, not worker failure … and those failing should be let go first before their employees.

One connection on LinkedIn noted a specific example he and colleagues have been following for over 3 years: “A well known company has the same job opening (the same position title, duties and responsibilities) every quarter for the last three or four years without ever filling the position.”
Wonder how many of those people and organizations include “integrity” or something like it in their values?
Company values should be reflected in all behavior … including hiring.
