In previous weeks, I analyzed whether ChatGPT could be an artificial manager. I’m skeptical that a talking head, learned from thousands of books and websites, can be a manager that takes managerial actions and really manages a team, not just answers employees’ questions (and that’s usually pouring water a bit…). However, the progress of GPT technology is quite rapid, and we can assume that it will be part of a larger whole system that will guide the artificial manager. A

At the end of March 2023, I wrote 3 posts on why ChatGPT can’t be an artificial manager. There were 2 reasons for this. First, the ontology of the world that chatGPT uses is scattered and inconsistent. Second, ChatGPT derives its knowledge about managing, for example, a team or a project only from past descriptions in books or websites. From such data about what a human manager really does, it is impossible to build an artificial manager, even in the

Two days ago, I described how, using the technology used to build an artificial manager, TransistorsHead.com online manager tools, it is possible to reverse engineer the learning process of an artificial manager and measure the leadership style of a human manager. Our study, which we performed using the non-participant observation method, involved two teams led by managers. We tried to verify two hypotheses, one of which we found true and the other false. If you haven’t yet read about this

I already wrote about management styles a few months ago in the context of using the concept to design a robotic manager. Let me remind you that the most well-known among practitioners is Blake and Mouton’s management grid. It is based on two indicators: concern for people and concern for results. This division distinguishes five classes of management styles: impoverished management, authoritarian management, relationship-oriented management, sustainable management and integrated management [1]. However, a more recent conception of management styles simplifies

Multitasking in human work has been a trending topic for years. I’m sure you try to work this way, but think about how well it works for you. Perhaps this morning you tried to write an email, call your boss, and talk to a colleague behind the desk all at once, while sipping your morning coffee. At the same time, you were reminded that you didn’t give your child the keys and when she comes home, she will be waiting
