Human-AI Patterns
The Legacy Keeper
They carry deep expertise and team memory. But when ignored or sidelined, they can quietly stall AI adoption. Not from spite, but from self-protection.
The AI Holdout
They don’t lead change. They follow—reluctantly. AI feels optional, even threatening. They do just enough to keep up. Their hesitation creates subtle friction. If left unsupported, they slow adoption and set the tone that AI is something to avoid.
The AI Champion
They’re not just excited, they’re owning it. Testing tools, setting the pace, showing what’s possible. They lead with action, fuel momentum, and push for progress. Their energy pulls others in. But without support or structure, they can burn out or run ahead alone.
