▶︎ #151 | Your Team Is Using AI More. So Why Does Everything Feel Harder? In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Aleksandra Lemańska addresses a paradox that's quietly spreading across tech teams in 2026: AI tools are being used more than ever, output is up, speed is up, and yet people are more stressed, more exhausted, and more uncertain than before. Alex's diagnosis is precise. The technology didn't cause the problem. The missing conversation did. When AI tools entered the workflow, most leaders did the completely understandable thing: they said "great, let's use this" and moved on. What they didn't do is renegotiate the psychological contract: the unspoken agreement about what counts as a good day's work, what is expected, and what gets to come off the list when something new gets added. Without that conversation, teams kept adding. And when you keep adding without ever subtracting, you don't get a productivity revolution, you get a burnout machine.
