 What happens when AI stops being a tool and starts acting like a teammate?

In this episode of Executive Connect, Brian sits down with Nikki Barua, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and co-founder of FlipWork, to talk about what agentic AI really means for leaders. Nikki explains why most companies are getting AI adoption wrong, how human and AI teams should actually work, and why culture change matters more than buying the latest tools. She also breaks down what leaders must unlearn, how 90-day operating cycles can help teams move faster, and why the future belongs to people who can orchestrate both humans and intelligent systems. If your company is trying to use AI without losing trust, clarity, and human judgment, this episode gives you a smarter roadmap.
