Common mistakes to avoid

Accepting AI analysis without checking assumptions: AI will analyze the options you give it, but it cannot know factors you have not mentioned. Always add your business-specific constraints before accepting a recommendation.
Letting AI write legally binding documents: Employment agreements, contracts, and policies should be reviewed by a qualified professional before use. AI drafts are starting points, not legal documents.
Generic job descriptions: AI produces average job descriptions unless you give it specific information about what makes this role unique and what kind of person actually succeeds in it.
Sending AI-written internal communications without a personal edit: Team announcements especially need a human voice and tone — the way you communicate with your team reflects your leadership style in a way AI cannot replicate.
