What Creates Shadow AI? It's Not Bad Employees, It's Leadership Hesitation| AI for executives
AI Café Conversations | AI for Executives: Leadership Insights | Transforming with AI
Manage episode 520292788 series 3566364
Shadow AI isn't caused by rebellious employees or bad policies. It's caused by the Conviction Lag—the gap between what AI can do and what your organization believes it can do.
In this conversational episode, I walk through how leadership hesitation creates the exact behavior leaders are trying to prevent. When executives freeze, employees hide. When leaders demand control, teams go underground. When organizations wait for certainty, Shadow AI fills the vacuum.
I connect the Three Executive Brain Blocks (Competency Freeze, Control Spiral, Certainty Trap) to specific Shadow AI behaviors in your organization. Then I show you how to close the Conviction Lag through transparent AI use, Conviction Rituals, and guardrails instead of gates.
This episode builds on Episode 28 (why employees hide AI) and Episode 29 (what that hiding costs you). Now we get to the root cause: leadership conviction.
