[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”248792″]<\/p>\n

Harvard Business Review <\/a>has just published the third edition of its annual AI usage study \u2013 and the findings are revealing. More than 12,000 real AI use cases were analyzed from March 2025 to February 2026. The conclusion: AI usage is becoming broader, deeper \u2013 and emotionally more intense.<\/p>\n

For leaders, three key signals emerge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”569787″]<\/p>\n

1. Emotional Support: The Underestimated Leadership Topic<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therapy and companionship is the most-used AI application for the second year in a row \u2013 accounting for 11% of all analyzed cases, twice as much as the previous year. People are turning to AI for relationship advice, emotional support, and as a safe space for questions they don’t want to ask anyone else.<\/p>\n

This is not a marginal phenomenon. It says something about the state of our working world: loneliness, pressure, a lack of conversation partners at eye level. These needs don’t disappear \u2013 they shift. For leaders, the question becomes: What role do we play in ensuring that people on our teams find this support from other humans \u2013 and not exclusively from machines?<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”167160″]<\/p>\n

2. Thinkslop: The Silent Danger for Leaders<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The HBR author uses a new term: “Thinkslop”<\/strong>: the growing tendency to hand off thinking to AI prematurely, before truly thinking things through yourself. In at least a quarter of the top use cases \u2013 from decision-making to idea generation to emails \u2013 AI is taking over parts of the human thinking process.<\/p>\n

The risk: those who turn to AI too early lose access to their own ideas, lose practice in independent judgment \u2013 and may develop a false sense of intellectual confidence, because AI outputs always sound polished and convincing.<\/p>\n

For leaders, thinkslop is particularly dangerous. Judgment, ethical reasoning, reading people and situations \u2013 these are core leadership competencies that cannot be delegated. The critical question is not whether AI helps with thinking, but which thinking deliberately stays in human hands.<\/p>\n

The good news: AI can also function as a genuine sparring partner \u2013 when used as a mirror, not a genie. Those who use AI to challenge their own assumptions and find counterarguments sharpen their thinking rather than replacing it.<\/p>\n

3. Autonomous AI Agents: The Invisible Transformation<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Autonomous Agentic Operations” is a new entry in the top 10 \u2013 at number 6. AI is increasingly taking on tasks and processes independently, without humans steering every step. According to the HBR study, this is already happening in many organizations today \u2013 often in the shadows: employees are using AI agents on their own, without their leaders’ knowledge.<\/p>\n

For leaders, this means two things: First, they need to understand how people and AI systems are working together in their teams \u2013 and which decisions must remain with humans. Second, it requires an open organizational culture in which AI usage is not hidden, but shaped together.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”484212″]<\/p>\n

How Leaders21 responds<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The HBR authors say it themselves: AI doesn’t have to be a crutch \u2013 it can also be a challenging sparring partner that sharpens your own thinking. That is exactly the standard we set for the AI Coach at Leaders21.<\/p>\n

The AI Coach on the Leaders21 Platform<\/strong> is not a replacement for human coaching \u2013 but a low-threshold, always-available companion that supports leaders in sharpening their own thinking. Reflective questions, development impulses, orientation in everyday leadership \u2013 deliberately designed to activate rather than replace.<\/p>\n

Because the most important leadership competency of the coming years may be this: knowing what to hand over to AI \u2013 and what not to.<\/p>\n

AI is increasingly being used for emotional support \u2013 including in professional contexts. This shows that many people find too little space for open conversations in their working lives. Leaders who create psychological safety in their teams address this need at its root.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”What are autonomous AI agents and what do they mean for leaders?” tab_id=”1781598027282-2-9″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”235901″]<\/p>\n

Autonomous AI agents independently carry out tasks, without human control at every step. According to the HBR study, employees are already using such agents today, often without their leaders’ knowledge. Leaders should actively open dialogue about how AI is being used in their teams – and set clear boundaries.<\/p>\n
