GoKawiilSlingshot data shows AI mandates from C-suite failing to reach middle management
A Digital Work Trends Report from Slingshot finds that while 86% of C-suite executives say AI use is mandatory at their companies, only 49% of middle managers are actually reinforcing that expectation with their teams. An Infragistics executive argues the disconnect stems from leadership style, not technology, since employees need coaching and modeling rather than top-down mandates to adopt new tools.
