Eighty percent of individual contributors describe their manager\u2019s approach to AI as \u201chands-off,\u201d which underscores a widening gap between AI\u2019s potential and how it\u2019s actually used at work.<\/p>\n<p>\nFranklinCovey\u2019s 2025 AI General Attitudes Survey and 2025 Global Leadership Survey found additional warning signs:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n14% of workers report having received any AI training.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n40% say their manager doesn\u2019t know how or whether they are using AI in their work at all.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n70% of workers say AI and technology are advancing faster than their culture can adapt.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThese statistics highlight a human adoption curve that\u2019s keeping most organizations from achieving expected gains in productivity and business performance. Many organizations have not begun to deploy or integrate AI enterprise-wide, and among those that have, usage is inconsistent and scattered.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAI adoption isn\u2019t just an IT problem. It\u2019s a human problem,\u201d said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franklincovey.com%2Fabout%2Fexecutive-team%2Fpaulwalker%2F%3Futm_source%3Dpr%26utm_medium%3Dbusiness-wire&amp;esheet=54540304&amp;newsitemid=20260521485285&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Paul+Walker%2C+FranklinCovey+CEO&amp;index=2&amp;md5=9f03717b61e03624317d47b52e5aa851\">Paul Walker, FranklinCovey CEO<\/a>. \u201cThe organizations winning with AI are pairing human judgment, creativity, and accountability with AI\u2019s speed and scale, and they\u2019re investing in the leaders and teams who make that pairing work. When you close the human readiness gap, adoption follows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nFranklinCovey is partnering with clients, including some of the world\u2019s largest technology firms, to improve AI results through two targeted, customizable solutions. Leaders and teams develop specific behaviors that drive AI adoption: effective mindsets for experimentation, clear organizational AI expectations, high-value AI use cases, and coaching team members through resistance and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franklincovey.com%2Fcourses%2Fleading-ai-adoption%2F&amp;esheet=54540304&amp;newsitemid=20260521485285&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Leading+AI+Adoption%3A+Accelerate+AI+Impact+Through+Empathy+and+Action&amp;index=3&amp;md5=aaa24b6ed2418c43310511f62e0635d7\">Leading AI Adoption: Accelerate AI Impact Through Empathy and Action<\/a> equips leaders with the skills to build AI momentum on their teams, rooted in empathy and action. Leaders clarify the game plan, spot high-value AI opportunities, and celebrate wins with their teams in everyday work. The result is a team that partners with AI and each other to think, decide, create, and communicate more effectively, delivering the outcomes that matter.\n<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franklincovey.com%2Fcourses%2Fworking-with-ai%2F&amp;esheet=54540304&amp;newsitemid=20260521485285&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Working+with+AI%3A+Essentials+for+Working+Smarter+Together&amp;index=4&amp;md5=d72defbf1d3804513651767149109390\">Working with AI: Essentials for Working Smarter Together<\/a> equips leaders and teams to confidently integrate AI into daily work by recognizing that AI is amplified when paired with human capabilities. Using a practical hybrid intelligence framework, learners discover how to combine AI with their own judgment, creativity, and experience to multiply performance and results.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nEarly adopters of these solutions report greater confidence in leading their teams in AI adoption, measurable capability gains in how leaders and teams use AI, and Increased daily use of AI in meaningful, business-critical work.<\/p>\n<p>\nFranklinCovey\u2019s research also identified three common leadership patterns that undermine AI adoption:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nEncouraging AI use without guidance or guardrails, leaving teams to improvise in ways that breed inconsistency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nFraming AI primarily as a cost-reduction lever, which creates anxiety rather than engagement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nMoving so cautiously that informal, unguided experimentation fills the vacuum.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nEach pattern leads to versions of the same outcome. AI projects that stall and create costs in under-utilized tools, slowed innovation, and eroded trust between employees and leaders. Effective adoption requires movement on two fronts: equipping individual contributors to innovate with AI and helping leaders establish the clarity that makes AI adoption productive, not chaotic. Leaders must model confident AI use, establish boundaries, and coach their teams through the discomfort of change.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s no viable \u2018AI czar\u2019 model,\u201d said Walker. \u201cCentralizing AI ownership creates bottlenecks, stalls innovation, and alienates the very people who need to adopt it. Ownership is distributed, which means every leader owns it. And FranklinCovey aims to help our clients translate that ownership into sustained performance gains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About FranklinCovey<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.franklincovey.com%2F&amp;esheet=54540304&amp;newsitemid=20260521485285&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=FranklinCovey&amp;index=5&amp;md5=2a08365237ed536e459ebd2e45f8a890\">FranklinCovey<\/a> (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyse.com%2Fquote%2FXNYS%3AFC&amp;esheet=54540304&amp;newsitemid=20260521485285&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=NYSE%3A+FC&amp;index=6&amp;md5=501a4bbf498412bd90bb1f69c50bf2dd\">NYSE: FC<\/a>) is a global leadership and organizational performance partner that gives strategy the human edge.
