A great manager can make a person feel more satisfied and included at work, and set them on a great career trajectory. But a bad manager can cost a company lots of time and money, or even drive away valuable talent. Katherine von Jan is building a better manager, powered by AI. As CEO and co-founder of Tough Day, von Jan is building AI management tools based on the best leaders and latest research, tailored for a company's values and norms. Tough Day might handle basic questions about PTO, but it might also help with sensitive stuff like addressing workplace conflict before it escalates. In this episode of Pioneers of AI, we explore why AI could be great for the future of management, the concept of un-bossing, and von Jan’s inspiration for Tough Day.
