Duration: 4:31
Sixty-eight percent of companies fail to move their AI experiments into production. The problem? It's not the technology – it's leadership.
In this episode, we discuss the five most common leadership mistakes:
1. **The ROI trap** – Measured too early, too narrowly
2. **Delegation instead of leading** – Leadership doesn't use AI themselves
3. **One-size-fits-all training** – Training everyone the same doesn't work
4. **Experts in silos** – Task forces without critical mass
5. **IT bottleneck** – Gatekeepers instead of enablers
