Greetings Decision Maker,
In today's rapidly evolving financial landscape, the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has become imperative for firms aiming to maintain a competitive edge. However, the journey toward AI adoption is often fraught with challenges, particularly concerning employee engagement and resistance to change. A mid-sized financial services firm recently embarked on this journey, implementing a comprehensive strategy to integrate Gen AI into its operations. This week I’m sharing a case study that offers valuable insights into effective methods for engaging employees and overcoming resistance during such transitions.

"If you're a leader who needs to make tough decisions and manage difficult change, you won't find a better trusted adviser than Dr. Gleb. His advice proved critical for navigating through a major merger that involved integrating two distinct organizational cultures and structures into a unified whole. His guidance not only helped me set my company on the right track to the long-term future by navigating through this merger, but also empowered me to grow as a leader: I'm sure he'll do the same for you. For example, Dr. Gleb helped me realize that while my democratic and participatory leadership style served the company well during times of stability, it did not serve well during times of major disruption and change. He taught me to adopt a visionary style more suited for such times to inspire my team to pursue a vision of our company's bright future through the slog of difficult change. Dr. Gleb also developed my ability to coach my staff in taking initiative in solving the many problems that arise during such change, rather than relying on me to provide them with the answers. I would strongly recommend Dr. Gleb as the top option for a trusted adviser for any leader navigating major change, making tough decisions, and creating breakthrough results."

What's Up With Me
|

During the recent snowstorm my wife and I were flying back home to Columbus from San Diego with a layover in Denver. We felt anxious and didn’t know if we’d successfully land in Denver, let alone get from there to Columbus, given the tens of thousands of flight cancellations. We were one of the fortunate ones: neither of our flights was cancelled, although we did have to sit on the tarmac and cool our heels for a while after landing in Columbus. We lucked out. It’s important to remember these moments of luck and good fortune, because our minds so often bring attention to the negatives; our negativity bias and loss aversion are just two of the cognitive biases causing a shift in our attention. To address that natural human irrationality, I try to keep in mind the lucky times and the fortunate occurrences, when there was a significant chance that things could go wrong, but everything went right. It helps me have both a more realistic and more optimistic perspective, so a win-win!
Here's how our house looked when we returned, covered by a foot of snow. How long do you think it took me to clear the driveway? |
