About the book
You already know how
to delegate to people.
AI changes what
delegation requires.
When you hand work to a person, you decide what they can do on your behalf, what requires your judgment, how you know what happened, and what changes when something goes wrong. AI agents require the same management discipline, but they can act in seconds, at scale, and across systems.
The Insider You Built introduces the Authority-Centered Enforcement™ (ACE) Framework, a practical way to decide what AI agents can do on your behalf and stay in control once they start acting.
Delegating authority does not mean surrendering control.
When does a human decide? When can it be stopped?
Know what the agent is actually doing.
Know when human judgment is required.
Address problems and make ownership clear.
Adjust authority based on what you learn.
Control does not end when you delegate. You set the boundaries, see how the agent uses its authority, preserve human judgment where it matters, and adjust as you learn.
Learn about ACEWho This Book Is For
The Insider You Built is for leaders and teams navigating a world in which AI systems increasingly act on behalf of people and organizations.
“As software gains the ability to act on behalf of people and institutions, organizations will need more than policies. They will need governance capable of operating at the speed of the systems themselves.”
— Camille Stewart Gloster
