Your team trusts ChatGPT more than they trust you.

Research shows workers are turning to AI for help instead of asking colleagues—not because AI is more capable, but because AI doesn't judge them, won't report their struggles, and doesn't compete with them.

Real quote from Reddit:
*"I trust AI more than my colleagues. AI doesn't judge me for not knowing something. And it won't tell my manager I'm struggling."*

This is what a trust collapse looks like.

In this episode:

✅ Why trust collapsed (and it's not because of AI)
✅ The neuroscience of oxytocin vs threat response
✅ What dead psychological safety costs you (knowledge hoarding, Shadow AI explosion, lost human capability)
✅ The Three Zones framework for rebuilding trust
✅ Why vulnerability must be regulated not performative
✅ What "Zone 3 Fridays" are and why they work

1. Why do employees trust AI more than their colleagues?
2. What does it mean when your team trusts ChatGPT more than you?
3. How did leadership create the AI trust collapse?
4. What is psychological safety in AI transformation?
5. How do executives rebuild trust when AI has replaced it?
6. What are the Three Zones of human-AI trust?

Google's Project Aristotle: Psychological safety is the #1 predictor of high-performing teams.

When it's dead, people trust machines over humans.

If your AI transformation feels chaotic, reactive, or stuck—let's talk.
