Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says people managers are dead. The debate centers on whether managers become obsolete or evolve into player-coaches who mentor staff. Experience still matters even as younger employees learn AI tools quickly.
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says people managers are dead. The debate centers on whether managers become obsolete or evolve into player-coaches who mentor staff. Experience still matters even as younger employees learn AI tools quickly.
Airbnb CEO said, Brian Chesky.
I don't think people managers will have any value in the future.
People most screwed by AI will be the people managers. When we think about hiring at my company now, you can't just be a manager. You have to be an individual contributor.
The reason I don't believe managers go to zero, if they're a player coach and they're good at what they do, they have a lot of experience. Even if it's virtual, it's not in person. The younger people may not be learning as quickly, but the younger people will gain a lot of knowledge by just being around seasoned managers who are willing to share and help them out.
At least with my observation, it's very easy to train kids on AI. Now, that being said, you still need to mix it with experience.
