When AI takes the tasks, managers take the relationships | Fortune
""What does it mean to be the best coach or the best team enabler? What are the skill sets that you now have to grow in your teams in an era of AI where the expectation is judgment, decision-making, and creativity?""
""And when they over rely on AI or agents doing that work, we see really bad outcomes, and we also see collaborative atrophy,""

Software is stripping out drudgery and redefining good management as coaching, judgment, and emotional leadership instead of task supervision. AI aims to build around people to amplify capabilities without replacing strategic decision-making or soft skills. Many managers spend excessive time on tedious administrative work; AI agents can remove much of that burden but require companies to reset expectations, hold managers accountable, and provide training in judgment. Management priorities should shift toward developing coaching, team-enabling skills, judgment, decision-making, and creativity. Collaborative performance—alignment, championing others, and cross-team trust—and empathy remain areas where humans substantially outperform machines, and overreliance on agents can cause collaborative atrophy.
