AI is increasingly shaping how work gets done on teams, often through informal or uneven use, without shared expectations to rely on. When that happens, teams begin developing “shadow standards”: unspoken assumptions about what’s acceptable, what’s smart, and what’s risky. Over time, this can create team-level strain through misaligned quality, uneven behaviour, reduced visibility, and the quiet erosion of professional trust and confidence.

This workshop helps people leaders replace that uncertainty with team-level leadership judgment. You will learn how to notice when expectations have become blurred, diagnose whether leadership clarity is actually required, and make consistent, defensible calls using PMC’s LENS decision lens.

Rather than waiting for perfect organizational guidance, you will clarify how existing expectations apply to your team’s AI use. You will draft 2-3 practical team guardrails you can reasonably stand behind as a leader, and you will choose a defensible leadership position for how visible that clarity needs to be right now— whether it should be held, reinforced informally, or supported through a focused conversation.

By the end of the session, you will leave with a repeatable method to reduce team-level uncertainty and strengthen trust, fairness, and consistency in how AI is used—without relying on policy work, technical expertise, or escalation.

Learning Objectives/ Topics covered:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Assess how AI is influencing team roles, workflows, and communication
• Spot and address team-level risks related to unstructured or unsupported AI use
• Lead conversations that address fear and trust signals related to AI use
• Set practical team guardrails that support ethical use without slowing progress
• Translate leadership judgment about AI into clear expectations teams can rely on
