Your Employees Are Worried About AI Replacing Jobs. Here's What to Tell Them.

In this episode of Don't Get Played, Sarah O'Melia sits down with Margaret Keane, CEO of Cisive, to talk about what employees actually need from leadership right now and why silence is the worst response to a moment this uncertain. Margaret says that the disruption AI is bringing to the future of work is real, but it is not the whole story. Jobs will change. New ones will be created. And the leaders who say that out loud, clearly and honestly, are the ones whose teams will be positioned to move through it. The ones who say nothing are making a choice too, and their employees notice. They cover: • Why the noise around AI replacing jobs is getting louder while leaders stay quiet • How transparency and follow-through build the trust teams need to move through change • What the future of work actually looks like when leaders frame it around growth instead of cost-cutting • Why the hires you make right now have to be evaluated against a job that is already changing The conversation your employees need is the one most leaders are avoiding. Here's how to start it.
