A new study from researchers at the Harvard Business School (HBS) suggests that AI could be a game-changer for managers by alleviating burdensome administrative tasks and allowing them to focus on more meaningful work.

But this opportunity shouldn’t just be reserved for managers. It can extend to employees at every level who are willing to rethink their jobs.

The key? Understanding what energizes them and what drains them, as well as where their capabilities are most valued—and then using AI to offload the things that drain them and lean more into the things that energize them where they are most productive.
