David's resistance created a skills gap, putting his team's relevance at risk in an AI-first organization.
His refusal to adapt put his senior leadership role at risk as the company prioritized AI adoption.
"When they started talking about AI taking over our forecasting, I just saw red. I'd spent half my life perfecting those models. This AI felt like a black box, threatening to erase all that knowledge."
