999 Jobs In 1000


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard the hype about AI taking everybody’s jobs – but the reality is more nuanced. AI will affect almost every job, but it won’t replace most of them. About one in ten roles might disappear, but the rest will evolve, and that evolution depends on how well you support your people. As a leader, it’s part of YOUR job to make sure your team keeps up with using AI effectively – so you can stay ahead.

Are you worried about AI taking over your job?

Are your employees worried about AI taking over their jobs?


As a leader, you should be thinking seriously about the impact of AI in your work and in your workplace.


A recent report from investment bank Barronjoey said only one job in 1000 – in Australian workplaces – won’t be affected by AI and automation. That means 999 jobs out of every thousand will be affected – including most in your team and organisation.


That doesn’t mean all those jobs will be replaced by AI – in fact, the report goes on to say that about 10% will. So that’s good news for most jobs and most employees, because AI will augment and help them in their job, not replace them altogether.


But it also puts the responsibility back on you to help those people work with AI.


I feel that I shouldn’t even need to be saying this!


But most employees are just not using AI well – because their employers haven’t invested in that education.


That’s crazy, right?


I mean, you do provide sales training to your salespeople, don’t you?

And customer service training to your front-line staff?

And leadership training to your leaders?


So why aren’t you investing in training, coaching, mentoring, and other professional development in something that’s already affecting 999 out of 1000 jobs???


It’s good for you, it’s good for your team, and it’s good for the organisation.


That’s part of your responsibility as a leader. And if you don’t provide that education, make no mistake – they will find somebody else who does.


If you’re interested in more about this and other issues you should think about as a leader in the AI age, join my next online presentation – and invite others in your team and network as well.


I’ll see you in the future.
