If software can summarize meetings, track projects, analyze performance, and increasingly execute the work itself, why would companies still need this many managers? 🤷♀️
Fair question. I just think it starts from the wrong definition of management.
Management was never really about moving tasks between people or writing status reports. It's about creating clarity, making decisions, allocating resources, developing people, and taking responsibility for outcomes. AI is getting very good at the first layer of that. What it can't absorb is the responsibility for deciding what an organization should do, and who's accountable when it goes wrong.
Which creates a paradox: the more autonomous these systems get, the more valuable human ownership becomes.
