From Resistance to Results with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky

Have you woke up at 3:00am sure the whole AI train jumps the rails? Dr. Gleb Tsipursky has a more useful diagnosis. AI adoption stalls on psychology, because the technology turns out to be the easy part. In this week's Work Positive Podcast, Dr. Joey Faucette talks with Dr. Gleb about the three emotions that stall a rollout, fear, identity threat, and shame, and what a people leader does about each one. Also, they discuss why shadow AI usage climbs individual productivity while team productivity stays flat, why you train people on the tasks they hate and leave the ones they take pride in alone, and what grows once resistance clears. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, called the "Office Whisperer" by The New York Times, serves as CEO of the future-of-work consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts and wrote seven bestselling books, including The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results from Georgetown University Press.
