Listen "How Can AI Help Managers Become Better Mentors?"
Episode Synopsis
How can managers use AI to improve mentorship programs — without becoming overreliant on AI tools? In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu explores how AI can help free up time and enable managers to focus on becoming better mentors. Leaders often struggle with administrative overload, burnout, and eroding connections with their teams, and in this episode we'll discuss how AI can streamline routine tasks and help managers strengthen human relationships. Featuring insights from Dr. Jenna Butler, Principal Applied Research Scientist at Microsoft, the episode highlights the difference between AI as a support system and AI as a substitute. Also learn about the risk of overreliance on simulated empathy from AI tools and a practical three-step framework for mentoring with AI as your co-pilot.
