Paul Laughlin recently led a discussion at a Supper Club for data leaders, exploring this question: Are data leaders’ roles more challenging than other leadership roles? If so, why? Do they need different support for their leadership development?

It was a great evening prompting lots of active discussions & online voting by the assembled data leaders. However, that supper club is an invitation-only private event for senior data leaders, so those discussions are confidential.

So to enable Laughlin Consultancy to share Paul’s thinking with a wider audience we have published a separate video recording of Paul explaining his presentation. This topic should be of interest to all data leaders (including CDOs) and those who aspire to such a challenging role. It might also help fellow senior leaders better understand those challenges.

Paul has published a personal video of his presentation on our YouTube channel:

We have also published a copy of Paul’s slides on our Slideshare channel:
