Walk in curious.Walk out operating.
From Rung 2 to Rungs 3 and 4 in a single day.
Most managers are stuck on Rung 2 of the Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation, using ChatGPT for personal productivity while their team’s way of working stays the same. The AI Native Leader Foundations Day moves your whole leadership layer to Rungs 3 and 4. Real outputs built in the room: your Leadership Dashboard, your workflow translations, your knowledge plan. Working in your tools by Friday. Not a course. Not a certificate. The thing itself.

The cost of Rung 2
Staying on Rung 2 looks like productivity. It is actually standing still.
Most managers think they have done AI because they have used ChatGPT. They get personal productivity gains. The team’s way of working has not changed. While they sharpen their individual edge, the leaders who have moved to Rungs 3 and 4 are reshaping how their entire function operates. The gap compounds every quarter.
What staying on Rung 2 costs you
Individual productivity, no team transformation
Every manager experiments separately. Fragmented results. Nothing scales across the leadership layer.
Training that gives knowledge, not change
Leaders go back to unchanged systems. Without structured data and tooling, nothing sticks.
The gap compounds
While your managers stay on Rung 2, the organisations who move to Rung 3 are pulling ahead. The distance grows every quarter.
This day equips your leaders to understand where they sit and unlock Rungs 3 and 4. Not productivity gains. Transformational change.
The Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation
Four rungs. Most leaders are on the second. This day moves them to the third and fourth.
Human Only
Sensitive conversations, judgement, presence. The decisions that should not involve AI.
Human AI Supported
Using ChatGPT for individual tasks. Personal productivity gains. The team's way of working stays the same.
Where most managers are todayAI Workflows
Common workflows run repeatably with human oversight. The team gains leverage, not just the individual.
Unlocked on this dayAI Agents
AI monitors, decides and acts within boundaries set by the leader. The leader governs the system, not the work.
Unlocked on this dayThis is the operating model your leadership layer is going to need anyway. We just build it on Friday instead of over the next 18 months.
What you leave with
Not a certificate. Working tools, built in the room.
Every participant leaves with outputs built on the day. Real context. Your tools. Ready Monday morning.

Josh Gain
Founder and Managing Director, 10X Managers
Where the credibility lives
Josh rebuilt 10X Managers as an AI native business. This workshop teaches leaders that operating model in a day.
Same team. Dramatically more output. Sharper thinking. Less friction.
The thing that changed everything was not a new tool. It was a new operating model.
Not theory. The founder's own transformation, repackaged for organisations everywhere else.
What Josh transformed inside 10X Managers
Ditched training slides entirely
AI agents now build bespoke interactive workshop webpages for each client group. Tailored to the organisation, the challenges, and the room on the day. Half the build time. Twice the quality.
Stopped teaching frameworks. Started building tools.
Most development ends with a model in someone's head and a handout in their bag. We now build those models into custom, repeatable AI tools that live in the workflow. The outcome is a manager with better tools, not a better-trained manager.
Gave every Performance Partner individual-level intelligence
We built an AI agent coach that accumulates individual-level intelligence on every manager and surfaces it to our human Performance Partners before every interaction. The gold standard of personalisation, at scale.

“I have sat through three AI training days in the past two years. This was the first time I walked out with something I could use the next morning. The Dashboard is now how I run my weekly team review.”
Head of Operations
UK Professional Services, 350 people
“The Ladder made something click that I had been struggling to articulate to my executive team. We thought we were doing AI. We were on Rung 2, and doing it badly. Three months on, two of my direct reports are running Rung 3 workflows inside their team operating rhythms.”

“What separates Josh from every other AI consultant I have met is that he is describing something he actually built. The credibility of the day is completely different when the person in the room did it themselves.”

The agenda
No slides. No passive listening.
Every session ends with something built or decided. Five sessions, one day.
Session 01
What Is an AI Native Leader
The AI Native Operating System introduced. The Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation: four rungs that classify every piece of work in your role. You leave this session knowing exactly where your work sits today and where it should move.
Session 02
Models, Knowledge and Context
How AI models actually work, including frontier vs efficient models and when to reach for which. The Knowledge Management Model: how to organise context, data and team knowledge so AI can operate on it. A tour of the tools your organisation already pays for and how to get more from what you have.
Session 03
Leading AI Responsibly
The Responsible AI Leader Framework in full. Data sensitivity, hallucination risk, governance and leadership accountability. GDPR and the EU AI Act covered practically, not philosophically. The session that removes the IT and legal objection before your leaders build anything.
Session 04, The centrepiece
The Build
Use the Translation Method to take real work from your function and convert it into an AI native workflow. Apply the Knowledge Management Model. Pressure test against the Responsible AI Leader Framework. Build your Leadership Dashboard.
Map real work in your function to a rung on the Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation
Translate it into an AI native workflow using the Translation Method
Build your Leadership Dashboard: live, in your tools, with your real context loaded
Session 05
Sharing and Learning Loop
Show what you built. Lock in the practices that make this compound after the workshop. Get inducted into the LeadersLab AI Community where alumni share working ideas and practical wins.
The AI Native Operating System
Five components. Everything fits together.
Everything you learn and build on the day sits inside this system. Not a collection of topics. One coherent operating model. Each component is taught, applied, and produces a working output before you leave.
01
The Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation
Four rungs. Every piece of work in your role sits on one of them. Most managers are stuck on Rung 2.
02
The Translation Method
How you discover work worth transforming and build it into a working AI native workflow.
03
The Knowledge Management Model
How you organise knowledge and data so AI can actually operate on it.
04
The Responsible AI Leader Framework
How you lead AI use responsibly across governance, compliance, and the UK regulatory picture.
05
Your Leadership Dashboard
The working management tool you build on the day. Ready to use Monday morning.
Component 01
The Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation
Four rungs. Every piece of work in your role sits on one of them. Most managers are stuck on Rung 2.
Rung 1, Human Only
Presence, judgement, relationship. Sensitive conversations and decisions that should not involve AI.
Rung 2, Human AI Supported
Using AI tools like ChatGPT for individual tasks. Personal productivity gains, but without structured data, skills or tooling, the team's way of working has not changed yet.
Rung 3, AI Workflows
Common workflows automated to run repeatably with human oversight. AI does the work. The manager sets the conditions and reviews the output.
Rung 4, AI Agents
AI monitors, decides and acts within boundaries set by the leader. Autonomous execution on defined tasks. The leader governs the system rather than doing the work.
Component 02
The Translation Method
How you discover work worth transforming and build it into a working AI native workflow.
The full arc from what is happening today to what is running tomorrow. Map real work in your function to a target rung on the Ladder of Human-AI Augmentation and convert it into a workflow you can deploy inside your existing tool stack.
Component 03
The Knowledge Management Model
How you organise knowledge and data so AI can actually operate on it.
The single biggest unspoken lever in good AI work. Document conventions, knowledge architecture, skills, connectors, and how to build a personal and team knowledge stack that compounds over time.
Component 04
The Responsible AI Leader Framework
How you lead AI use responsibly across governance, compliance, and the UK regulatory picture.
Covers data sensitivity, hallucination risk, leadership accountability, GDPR, and the EU AI Act. Practical, not philosophical. Removes the compliance objection that stalls most AI rollouts before they start.
What this session removes
The IT objection
Leaders leave with a Responsible AI checklist covering data sensitivity and safe use. IT have nothing to block.
The legal objection
GDPR and EU AI Act covered practically. Your leaders understand the boundaries before they build anything.
The compliance gap
Governance and accountability built into the OS from day one, not retrofitted after the fact.
The risk of hallucination
Leaders learn how to spot, manage and guard against AI errors in their own workflows.
Component 05
Your Leadership Dashboard
A management dashboard that brings goals, accountability, team knowledge, workflows, decisions log, and meeting logs into one place. Built using your real context, in your existing tools.

The Field Guide
All five components captured on a single page reference. Every participant takes it with them.
For the organisation
One AI native leader per team is a multiplier for everyone they lead.
The day changes one leader. The leader changes the floor for their entire team. That is the compound effect of the OS.
AI native leaders deployed back into the business as team multipliers, raising the floor for everyone they lead
A consistent operating model and shared language across the organisation, rather than fragmented individual experimentation
The foundations of a community of practice through the AI Community channel
Built-in compliance and governance literacy, including GDPR and EU AI Act awareness, removing the IT and legal objection that usually stalls AI rollouts
A portfolio of measurable outputs per participant that can be reviewed, scaled and audited
A clear path from AI curiosity to AI native practice, accelerated by a partner who has already done it themselves
Common objections
Questions we hear most before people book.
“We tried AI programmes before and nothing changed.”
The reason nothing changes is that training gives individuals knowledge and sends them back to systems that have not changed. This day builds the system change itself. Participants leave with a working Leadership Dashboard, a workflow inventory and translated SOPs. The outputs are the sticking mechanism.
“We have already done AI training.”
Those programmes teach individuals to prompt. This teaches leaders the complete operating system to redesign how work happens across their function. Different category entirely.
“Our people are not technical enough.”
No pre-requisite. The workshop is designed for AI curious leaders at any level. It deliberately avoids code and developer content. If you are curious and willing to work, you are ready.
“Will this work in our tool stack?”
Yes. 10X works with you in advance on the stack you have or will provide, so the build session fits your environment. No new tools required. The OS runs on what you already own.
“How do we measure the outcome?”
Every participant leaves with tangible outputs: their Leadership Dashboard, a workflow inventory, translated SOPs, a Knowledge Management plan and a Responsible AI checklist. Tangible, attributable, reviewable. The community keeps the practice alive after the day.
“What about compliance?”
The Responsible AI Leader Framework covers GDPR, the EU AI Act, data sensitivity and safe use of AI in your environment. It is a core component of the OS, not an add-on.
“Who delivers the day?”
Josh Gain, Founder and Managing Director of 10X Managers. Josh rebuilt 10X as an AI native business from the inside. This is not a day delivered by a trainer who has read about AI. It is the founder's own operating model, taught in a single day.
“How many leaders per group and is it in-person?”
Five to ten leaders per group. Primarily in-person, the build session in particular benefits from being in the room together. Virtual delivery is available where required.
“What happens after the day?”
Every participant is inducted into the LeadersLab AI Community on the day. They leave with their Dashboard, their workflow inventory, and a peer group already building. 10X runs a 30-day follow-up session. The practice continues after the day ends.
Right fit
Any leader from front-line manager to C-suite who is curious about what AI native looks like and wants to start operating that way
People who feel AI is moving fast and that they are not seeing meaningful gains yet
Leaders who want to use AI to get more done for their teams with less
Organisations building a consistent operating model across their leadership layer rather than fragmented individual experimentation
No pre-requisites. The workshop is designed to meet leaders where they are.
Not right fit
Teams looking for a prompt writing course or a tool-by-tool AI tutorial
Organisations that want a talk, not a working session with tangible outputs
Anyone expecting to observe rather than build
Full refund guarantee
If by the morning break the day is not landing as promised, we refund the workshop in full. No questions asked.
Investment
One price. Everything included.
One leadership layer operating on Rung 2 for another year is not a neutral choice. The cost of this day is less than the monthly salary cost of one manager. The return is a leadership layer that transforms how work happens.
