When AI Starts Eroding Trust on Your Team Ep. 250

AI can create trust problems on your team that are hard to name, and even harder to fix once they've taken hold. When someone puts out AI-generated work without checking it, or when teams can't tell what's been thought through versus handed off to a tool, something starts to slip. This episode is about what that looks like in real organizations and what leaders can actually do about it. Mimi and David react to a Harvard Business Review article by Jayshree Seth and Amy Edmondson on psychological safety and AI. They connect the article's ideas to what they're seeing in the organizations they work with, including the specific ways AI adoption can erode trust when there's no shared framework for how to use it. What you'll get from this conversation: how rapid learning cycles help teams stay aligned on AI use, why leaders modeling mistakes out loud matters more than policies, and how Humanergy builds a monthly team ritual that creates psychological safety around AI in practice. Humanergy is a leadership development company. David and Mimi have been working inside organizations long enough to know that the trust problems AI creates aren't really about the technology.
