Emotional Data
Between the data and the reality falls the shadow.
The shadow is the emotion, the stories, the messiness that humans have contained within us.
Today in the idolatry age of data and ai, those who rely on only on numbers and computation get it wrong and wrong and wrong.
People do not compute.
We choose with our hearts and then use numbers to justify what we just did.

Today's Substack post revisits book Rethinking Work, 18 months after publication.
A book that originally was rejected by HarperCollins three years ago ( they changed their mind and decided to publish it after McGraw-Hill bought it) because they believed it was a work of "science fiction" has now proven to be more prescient than anything written on the future of work. More importantly it is filled with actionable insights.
The post shares the five forces changing work ( AI is just one) including societal change, new mindsets, the rise of a new type of worker and a plethora of marketplaces.
Read why
1) Jobs are a silly phase work is going through
2) Covid was not about where we work but why we work
3) How the age of debossification is here and challenging leadership
4) Why most employees will not be full-time before the end of the decade
5) How we are moving to a company eco-system of whales and plankton
6) Why many of the financial metrics of a firm need to be changed
The handbook for your company's future but more importantly for yours
Work will change more this decade than it has in the past 50 years
