AI is shifting how work gets done. Some tasks go away. New ones show up. The job starts to feel different, even if the title stays the same.

So how do leaders redesign the work in time?
How do they protect pride and momentum when the work keeps evolving?
And who inside the company owns the job before it breaks the person doing it?
