Leaders aren't exempt from the "am I still needed?" question. Most expect AI-linked job losses at their own organisation within 3 years. If you're leading a team through this, the way you hold the uncertainty matters more than the reassurance you offer. Full piece on the blog. Link in bio.

Leaders, this one's for you: most senior leaders expect AI-linked job losses at their own organisation within three years.
Your team isn't just watching the tools change. They're watching how you respond to it changing.
What's one thing in your team's work that you'd confidently say depends on human judgement, not a tool? Tell us in the comments, we're collecting these for a follow-up post.

Ever get that drop in your stomach when work rolls out yet another new tool or process? You're not imagining it and you're not alone. Turns out most of us feel it.
Your brain treats change at work the same way it once treated real danger, scanning for whether you're still safe, still needed, still valued. It's exhausting, and it's not your fault.
I've written a short piece on why this happens and three small things that genuinely help. Link below. And if you'd rather talk it through than read it, I'm always happy to have that conversation.

Why the most important decisions of your day are often made when your brain is least equipped to make them.
Think about when your biggest decisions actually happen.
The strategic conversation at the end of a long day. The final approval before you close your laptop. The difficult message you composed at 6pm after eight hours of back-to-back demands.
Now think about what your brain was running on at that point.
Most leaders schedule their highest-stakes decisions at the most convenient time, not at the time when their cognitive resources are actually best equipped to handle them. The result is predictable and measurable: worse outcomes from capable people who are making decisions under the wrong conditions.
This is not about working harder or thinking better. It is about understanding when your brain is actually at its best. Watch this short video.

The most rigid leadership decisions are often made not by the most stubborn leaders but by the most depleted ones.
Cognitive flexibility, the capacity to update beliefs, shift perspective and adjust strategy in response to new information, depends on prefrontal cortex function. Sustained stress, fatigue and cognitive overload all reduce this function in predictable ways.
This means a leader who is genuinely open-minded and adaptable in principle can become functionally more rigid when their underlying conditions are poor, reverting to familiar patterns and finding it harder to genuinely weigh alternatives.
Organizations that want adaptable leadership need to look at the conditions under which their leaders are operating, not just at the leaders themselves.

A leader's attentional focus shapes team culture more than most leadership interventions.
What a leader consistently notices, comments on and reinforces shapes what the team believes is important. If a leader's attention is predominantly drawn to what is wrong, the team tends to experience an environment focused on problems and gaps.
Deliberate gratitude practice, even brief and private, can over time shift attentional balance. Research suggests it helps the brain register progress, contribution and what is working alongside the problems that genuinely need attention.
This is not about manufactured positivity or ignoring real issues. It is about ensuring the full picture gets the attention it deserves.
What is one thing in your team that has gone well recently that may not have received the recognition it deserved?

Safe social connection is a neurological input, not just a social preference.
Research links genuine social connection to lower cortisol levels, reduced inflammatory markers, improved emotional regulation and better cognitive performance over time. Social isolation, by contrast, has been associated with some of the same neural pathways as physical pain.
This does not mean leaders need to be socially active in every direction. It means having at least a small number of people with whom genuine, safe connection exists appears to matter neurologically, not just emotionally.
For organizations, this has implications beyond individual wellbeing. Leaders who are genuinely well-connected are also more likely to build psychologically safe cultures in their teams.
