In this episode of My Robot Boss, Dr. Anna Tavis joins Devon to discuss how AI is revolutionizing performance management and leadership. Anna’s groundbreaking Harvard Business Review articles on performance management were named HBR Must Reads and Her latest book, The Digital Coaching Revolution, explores how technology is scaling coaching and transforming how we grow, measure, and experience leadership itself.

Together, Devon and Anna dive into:

How performance management evolved from annual reviews to continuous feedback.
Why AI offers both promise and peril — enabling real-time insights but risking surveillance.
The central role of trust, transparency, and privacy in the age of data-driven performance.
How digital coaching is democratizing development across entire organizations.
Why “human-in-the-loop” leadership is more critical than ever.

Key Quote:

“It’s not about technology — it’s about intention. Tools don’t transform organizations; people using them thoughtfully do.” – Dr. Anna Tavis
