Leaders as Orchestrators of the Hybrid Workforce
The new job
I decide which tasks go to humans and which to agents. I review agent output without becoming the bottleneck.
Safety first
I tell the team: try, fail, share what you learned. Without that, people pick the safe option and we learn nothing.
Guardrails second
I set clear rules: what agents can do, how we review, and when we stop. Safety without structure is chaos. Structure without safety is silence.
I measure both: number of experiments per week and number of learnings shared.
