About this episode
This episode explores how reliance on data and AI can obscure clarity in leadership, emphasizing the importance of deeper understanding through relationships and experience.
Why more data and AI-driven insight often leads to less clarity in leadership is the central question of this episode. The answer, I argue, lies less in the technology itself and more in the kind of knowing leaders rely on—whether they depend on information alone or develop deeper understanding through relationship, lived experience, and sustained engagement with the work.
