You Still Own It: The Leadership Skill You Can’t Delegate to AI (with PROS CRO Eileen Sweeney)

AI isn’t accountable. Leaders are.Eileen Sweeney, PROS CRO, operates in a world where algorithms influence billions in airline revenue.The scale and speed are staggering.What a conversation on a big idea that leaders and teams are challenged by right now...When algorithms shape decisions…who owns the outcome when it goes wrong?Not the system.The leader.You see it in high-stakes deals—everything points to “close it.”The system says go.But the real question becomes:Are you willing to own what happens next?And sometimes… the answer is no.Not because the technology failed—but because the risk isn’t something you’re willing to stand behind.Algorithms can optimize.But they can’t take responsibility.That still sits with the leader.🎯 Questions worth thinking about:How do you evaluate when the risk–reward no longer makes sense in the AI age?How do you build trust when decisions are shaped by data and models?And when a decision carries real risk… how do you ensure it’s clearly owned?👉 Where have you seen a decision made—but no one owned the outcome?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter
