What really shapes great leaders in the age of AI
Hub & Spoken: Data | Analytics | Chief Data Officer | CDO | Data StrategyShow Notes
Leadership is often shaped long before someone reaches the boardroom.
In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Kate Boyle, AI, data and technology leader, to explore the experiences that define great leadership. From starting work at 16 and building a career across financial services and the public sector, to leading data and AI transformation, Kate shares the personal and professional lessons that have shaped her approach to leading people.
The conversation explores resilience, empathy, workplace culture and why striving for perfection often holds leaders back. Kate also reflects on how organisations can better develop future leaders, the importance of creating environments where people can thrive, and why understanding people is just as important as understanding technology.
They also discuss one of the biggest leadership challenges today: balancing the excitement around AI with the responsibility to implement it safely. From governance and data quality to realistic expectations, Kate explains why strong leadership will determine whether organisations realise AI's potential or simply chase the latest trend.
