Awesome Book

This book is dynamic. All leaders should read it. Great and easy read and listen. This will prepare you for the future as a Algorithmic Leader. Mike Walsh spoke to my Gardner Webb University doctoral class.

good start and finish

Got a little forced in the middle but finished strong, overall this was a worthwhile read

A clear guide to leadership in a "smart" future

Mike Walsh does an excellent job of breaking down what it means - what we need to do - to be a leader in the algorithmic age. This book takes complex topics and makes them accessible with real world examples as an inspirational guide on how to lead with data.

It is easy to remain stuck in the way you've always done things. It is also easy to pretend new digital landscapes and artificial intelligence won't change how one must think and act in an age of algorithms. That thinking perhaps implies there is a threat to one's professional existence posed by this future. However, this book illuminates how using systems, data, and intelligence gives us an opportunity to excel in our organizations and as leaders. If we embrace the digital advantages available to us today, we can become Algorithmic Leaders, and not Algorithmic Victims!

Very well done

Very solid book. The quantitative examples and communication at a layman’s level make this book useful for many audiences, across many academic subjects. Well done.

Great summary of the Between Worlds podcast

I thought that Mike did a great job tying together a number of disparate topics from the various podcast discussions in a cohesive whole. As a person who leads a data/technical team in a “business” division of the org, I am living the challenges involved in straddling the 2 worlds so I was able to relate to a lot of the topics in the books.

Unfortunately a bit too simple.

Big fan of his podcast, but found this to be a bit too simple if you already have an "algorithmic" mindset.
