What happens when you introduce AI to “help” your people… and they all go on sick leave?

In this episode of Who’s Elvis Around Here?, Chris sits down with leadership expert Joe Hildebrand to explore the human side of AI — and why so many organisations are getting it wrong.

As AI rapidly reshapes the workplace, leaders are facing a critical choice:

👉 Use AI purely for efficiency, cost-cutting, and productivity
👉 Or use it to unlock human potential, creativity, and growth

Joe shares real-world stories (including one AI rollout that completely backfired), powerful leadership frameworks, and why psychological safety, storytelling, and co-creation are more important than ever.

This conversation dives into:
- Why removing “mundane work” can actually harm employees
- The hidden stress AI can create in teams
- The “Red Pill vs Blue Pill” decision every leader faces
- How to balance structure and freedom in modern leadership
- Why the biggest risk right now is losing the human connection

If you’re a leader, founder, or simply navigating change in the age of AI — this episode will challenge how you think about work, people, and the future.
