AI is not just changing the work people do. It is changing how teams interact, solve problems, and build trust. The article notes that the old team equation was people + people = results, but the new equation is people + people + AI = results.
This article explains why leaders need to pay close attention to the human side of AI adoption. When people rely too heavily on AI, informal check-ins, shared problem-solving, and trust between colleagues can start to weaken. The risk is not only poor-quality AI output, but less connection, less collaboration, and more frustration across teams.
For leaders, the message is clear: AI can improve productivity, but it should not replace the human conversations that make teams work. By setting clear AI boundaries, protecting regular check-ins, encouraging paired review of AI outputs, and building relationship intelligence through tools like SDI, teams can use AI without losing the trust, dialogue, and connection that drive performance.
