Leading in the Age of AI

The CLEAR Model

Attention to
Behavior & Culture

Moving from Level 1 to Level 2:
From noticing to actively shaping local norms.

Habits

Build the Foundation

You've established a psychologically safe space to test AI. Now, it's time to build the unwritten rules of how your team uses it.

Where we are

The Level 1 Base

At Level 1, you learned to observe. You noticed fear, excitement, and created a safe zone for experimentation without treating mistakes as failure.

But observation without action is incomplete.

The Shift

Actively Shaping

Moving to Level 2 means shifting from passive observation to actively establishing team-level standards and norms.

You set the tone for how AI is used, shared, and evaluated.

The Next Level

Level 2: Local Norms

At Level 2, AI usage becomes visible, collaborative, and aligned. You start building the habits that integrate GenAI directly into daily workflows.

From an individual curiosity to a shared team capability.

📣

Key Behavior 1

Public Sharing

Make prompts and workflows public. Encourage the team to share how they achieved a good output, turning individual wins into team assets.

Calling out thoughtful AI use as a shared success.

🔧

Key Behavior 2

Debugging Together

When AI hallucinates or fails, don't hide it. Analyze the failure together. Treat troubleshooting as a collaborative skill-building exercise.

"Why did it give us this answer? How do we prompt it better next time?"

💬

Key Behavior 3

Handling Concerns Openly

Address the hard questions head-on: job loss, fairness, and AI bias. You must connect the AI transformation directly to real people impacts.

Trust is built through transparency, not by ignoring the elephant in the room.
