Leigh is also clear-eyed about where AI genuinely helps and where human judgment remains non-negotiable. The chapter on navigating organizational resistance is the most honest account of change failure in TA I've read. Recommended for any TA leader who suspects their function is reactive by habit rather than by design."" * Vanessa Raath, Head Cheerleader, The Talent Hunter *
