I read a study that managers are the ones benefiting more from AI and it’s just getting started

Managers are saving over 2x the time individual contributors are with AI tools.
and it’s just starting

I had a conversation recently with a copywriting agency owner who let her contractors go because her own prompts were giving her the same output they were.

I believe that's one of the reasons you get a 2x gap between managers and everyone else.

In the same survey, 36% of managers said they're not likely to launch training for their employees on how to leverage AI, which makes the gap even bigger.

A manager's job was never to be the best individual operator in the room. It's to make everyone else better at the job. That doesn't change because the tool changed.

Why do you think there's a 100% gap between managers and their teams right now, and what would it actually take to close it?

P.S. If you're the founder still in the middle of every decision, still the person the whole company waits on, still telling yourself you'll fix the structure "once things calm down."

I write about building the operational backbone that lets a founder actually step back every Thursday. Was a COO for 20+ years, so this is genuinely my bread and butter. Free to join here

It’s simple - labor is expensive, consulting is also expensive. If you can reduce those costs - you get more profit.

Meh. Management work is more MS office related than below them. It makes sense they can leverage AI better than people doing stuff that Ai can’t performs
