Business (along with government) is near the top of the list of unprepared entities; in business, managers lead the list of employees who need to get up to speed...fast. It could be as soon as this year that managers will be asked to lead hybrid teams of human employees and AI agents that autonomously perform multiple tasks -- emulating what a skilled employee can do sitting at a computer, but much faster and perhaps more accurately.
