Your managers need...charts they can read.the right question to ask.to know when AI is guessing.the confidence to decide.
Why it matters...
Managers Decide on What They Can Read
Managers approve reports, budgets and AI-assisted work every week. If they cannot read the chart or question the result, a wrong number gets through. Literacy is a leadership skill, not a technical one.

2. Ask better questions
What was measured, what is missing, who collected it, and what would change the answer.
3. Understand AI
What AI does well and badly, how it gets things wrong, and what to check before you rely on it. Hands-on in your preferred AI.
4. Decide and communicate
Use data and AI output in a brief or decision, show how sure you are, and keep a person checking the result.
