The answers have always been with... people. Today, our work lives and personal lives are changing so rapidly that we struggle to maintain a sense of focus, purpose and belonging. Those leaders who can harness the power of data to innovate, augment and enhance the customer and employee experience, will be the new pioneers of modern talent environments. In Leading in the Age of Data, Ben carefully unpacks the system of seven levers required to understand and create the conditions for raising awareness, wiring new connections and creating new habits by harnessing data. A must read for anyone serious about modern leadership in the age of data!" -Valerie Logan, CEO of The Data Lodge "Ben Jones's 'Leading in the Age of Data' is a must-read for all leaders. It's not just about DATA but about understanding people, ethics, and culture. Ben breaks down complex topics into clear lessons, showing how true leadership balances heart and numbers. My favorite section was the one on PEOPLE - 'in order to realize the benefits of technology, people almost always need to obtain some working knowledge and skills first.' While technology evolves, it's the human factor—people with their knowledge, ethics, and culture—that remains the most pivotal element in ensuring success. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to be a leader in the age of data!" -Kate Strachnyi, Founder of DATAcated "Organizations, vendors, and employees all say "Hey, you need a data culture." But there are very few practical guides that actually provide the necessary steps. This is the vital gap the book fills. Ben's conversational writing style is always a pleasure to read. -Andy Cotgreave, Co-author of The Big Book of Dashboards
