Adam Grant on How AI Reshapes Work: Why Agility Beats Ability
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant told Atlassian’s Teamwork in an AI Era event that the key to thriving with AI is agility, not static ability. He urges leaders to treat AI as a thought partner, run continuous low‑risk experiments, and embed a culture of learning, failure‑rewarding, and storytelling. Grant also recommends structured challenge networks, innovation tournaments with kill‑signals, and redesigned information flows to keep executives informed without burnout. The overall message is that teams must redesign work habits and metrics to leverage AI as a catalyst rather than a speed‑up tool.
