AI in Supervisory Work

For many supervisors, this is where AI is beginning to play a role, helping draft messages, organize thoughts, and prepare for challenging conversations. In a recent Supervisory Conversations session, many managers shared that they are already using tools like Gemini to support their communication and day-to-day work, from refining email tone to preparing for difficult one-on-one conversations.

But as AI becomes faster and more capable, an important question remains: where does the tool end and the leader begin? This month, we explore how supervisors can use AI as a helpful support, not a replacement. We also share a few simple habits, like revising AI responses, asking questions about the output, and setting clear expectations. These steps can help you use AI wisely while staying focused on what only you can do as a leader.
