What the data shows
01
The challenge isn't resistance. It's disorientation.
People aren't pushing back on AI. They're curious. The problem is they don't know what standard to use to evaluate it. That's harder than adoption, and almost no one is talking about it.
02
Senior leaders are quietly losing confidence in their own judgment.
Founders and directors, people who've made consequential calls for years, are holding onto proof that they still add value. This is a leadership identity shift happening in real time.
03
People are curious and paralyzed at the same time.
Curiosity scored highest in emotions. Waiting scored highest in behavior. That gap is a signal: people need a catalyst, not more content.
"It's like a big giant elephant in the conference room... open and transparent discussions are needed."
