Hi Leadership Community,
In this short bonus episode of the Leadership in Manufacturing Podcast, Kaitlyn Tredaway, COO at CalcuQuote, shares how leaders can use AI to improve efficiency without losing trust, judgment, or human connection. Drawing from her experience supporting electronics manufacturers and global teams, Kaitlyn offers a practical perspective on where technology helps and where leadership must stay human.
We explore why AI works best when it handles repetitive and complex tasks, while people remain responsible for decision making, negotiations, and customer relationships. Kaitlyn also explains why trust cannot be automated and how thoughtful use of AI can actually create more space for meaningful leadership.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why AI should support leaders instead of replacing them
- Where human judgment still matters most

P.S. Trust remains a challenge: Although about two-thirds of people use AI regularly, only 46% of people globally are willing to trust AI systems, underscoring the need for leadership and human judgment when deploying technology.
