How AI Is Changing the Way Your Team Judges You
2026-11-03
Your team has been told to use AI more, and most of them are. But I’m guessing there hasn’t been much discussion about what’s accepted and what isn't.
Now you’re getting work that looks really polished. For example, a deck or a report that looks visually finished, but when you read it, there isn’t a lot of thinking behind it. Researchers call it workslop. And once you see it, it changes how competent that person looks to you and what you’re willing to hand them next.
Navigating this situation is negotiation. How you respond when that work lands on your desk is a decision, and it affects your team well beyond one deck.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
See why polished work can tell you less than a rough draft
Understand what managers are absorbing that their teams never see
Spot the cost hiding inside “use AI more”
