How to Get AI to Write Like a Human
H
ow do you actually get AI to write like a human? It's the question more managers and executives are asking themselves as AI tools take over more of their daily writing — and as readers get faster and faster at spotting the machine.
Last month, Leadership IQ launched a free AI writing detector at LeadershipIQ.com, and people immediately started pasting in their own work. Emails to their bosses. Performance reviews. Policy memos. Cold outreach. LinkedIn drafts. The kind of writing that fills a normal workweek.
The submissions added up to 27,645 sentences of real workplace writing, with each one scored as either AI-generated, human-written, or somewhere in between. We then went back and analyzed the patterns. What separates the writing that reads as authentically human from the writing that gets quietly flagged as AI? The answer is not what most leaders assume.
HR Leadership and the Role of Human Resources in Developing Organizational Leaders
Only 35% of HR directors trust their managers to handle difficult employees without HR supervision. That startling statistic from Leadership IQ research reveals more than just a management skills crisis—it exposes a fundamental flaw in how organizations approach leadership development. When HR leaders can't trust the very managers they've helped select, train, and promote, something's broken in the leadership pipeline.
