What does leadership look like when your team is made of both humans and AI agents? Join Diana as she sits down with Chris Lucian from the Mob Mentality Show to explore leadership in this new world of hybrid human-AI teams. Diana argues that a team of some number of humans plus some number of agents is still a complex adaptive system: it has a container, an identity, differences among its players, and exchanges that let it collaborate. The practices we built for human teams — retrospectives, chartering, liftoffs, checkpoints — still apply, if we're intentional about bringing them along.
Diana goes on to share her idea that "your agent is your mirror" (inspired by the book Your Dog Is Your Mirror), and Chris connects this to Theory X vs. Theory Y prompting. Chris and Diana then turn the conversation to mob programming with agents, the leadership challenges of this moment, the ongoing question of whether "Agile is dead", hiring and firing in these times of AI, and more.
