AI resistance isn’t just about change—it’s about fear, trust, and identity. AI adoption often triggers a different kind of resistance than traditional change—rooted in concerns about job security, trust, competence, and professional identity. As a leader, responding effectively requires more than promoting the benefits of AI; it requires understanding what’s driving the reaction and adjusting your approach accordingly.

In this practical, application-focused class, you’ll learn how resistance to AI shows up across a spectrum—from silent avoidance and fear to skepticism and early adoption—and how to identify where individuals are in their adoption journey. You’ll explore the key psychological drivers behind resistance, including fear of job loss, trust concerns, and anxiety about learning new tools. 

Once you register, you’ll have access to asynchronous articles and tools.

At the end of this class, you will be able to:

• Recognize how resistance to AI adoption shows up across different individuals

• Identify the underlying drivers of resistance, including fear, trust, and identity concerns

• Apply targeted strategies to reduce resistance, build willingness, and accelerate adoption

• Adjust your leadership approach based on where someone is in the AI adoption journey
