Algorithm Anxiety: Are Managers Getting Overpowered by Machines?
Artificial intelligence is not just transforming how organizations operate, it is quietly reshaping how managers think, decide, and define their own relevance. As algorithms take over complex decision-making, a growing sense of “algorithm anxiety” has emerged, where leaders feel their cognitive authority being challenged by systems that are faster, more accurate, and increasingly indispensable.
This shift is not merely technological but deeply psychological. The traditional role of managers as decision-makers is evolving into one of interpreters and overseers, often leading to a loss of ownership and confidence. Yet, as organizations experiment with human-AI collaboration, a new paradigm is emerging—one where managers regain purpose not by competing with machines, but by contextualizing and ethically guiding their outputs.
In a world driven by optimization, the real challenge lies in preserving human judgment, empathy, and meaning. As hybrid teams consistently outperform purely human or automated systems, the future of management will depend on striking a balance between machine intelligence and human intentionality.

Why Groups of Experts Watch Disasters Unfold and Let It Happen
Why do disasters unfold in rooms full of experts without anyone stopping them?
Contrary to popular belief, failure is often not a result of ignorance, but of silence. Drawing from psychological research, historical case studies, and organisational behaviour, this article examines how the bystander effect operates inside expert groups, turning warning signs into “open secrets” that no one acts upon.
From NASA’s Challenger disaster to Kodak’s missed digital revolution and the 2008 financial crisis, the piece explains how diffusion of responsibility, pluralistic ignorance, and groupthink prevent individuals from speaking up even when they know something is wrong. The article also explores how organisational design, not individual intelligence, determines whether expertise translates into action.
Read Sanya Agarwal’s article to understand why intelligence without psychological safety can be dangerously ineffective and what organisations can do to break the silence.
Uncovering India’s Coaching Culture
Worth over ₹58,000 crore and enrolling nearly seven million students each year, India’s coaching industry has transformed from supplementary education into a parallel system one that often rivals or even replaces formal schooling.
From Kota to Hyderabad, Delhi to Patna, entire cities now function as coaching ecosystems, driven by high-stakes exams like JEE and NEET. The rise of large offline institutes alongside digital giants such as BYJU’S, Unacademy, and PhysicsWallah has created a 24/7 marketplace built around aspiration, competition, and uncertainty.
But beneath the industry’s rapid growth lies a deeper structural story, one of systemic gaps in education, rising inequality, and mounting emotional strain on students. The expansion of coaching reflects not just market demand, but also policy failures and a cultural obsession with exam ranks as the sole measure of merit.
