About this listen

The greatest threat we face is not robots replacing us, but our reluctance to reinvent ourselves.

We live in an age of wonder: cars that drive themselves, devices that anticipate our needs, and robots capable of everything from advanced manufacturing to complex surgery. Automation, algorithms, and AI will transform every facet of daily life, but are we prepared for what that means for the future of work, leadership, and creativity? While many already fear that robots will take their jobs, rapid advancements in machine intelligence raise a far more important question: What is the true potential of human intelligence in the 21st century?

Futurist and global nomad Mike Walsh has synthesized years of research and interviews with some of the world's top business leaders, AI pioneers, and data scientists into a set of 10 principles about what it takes to succeed in the algorithmic age. Across disparate cultures, industries, and timescales, Walsh brings to life the history and future of ideas like probabilistic thinking, machine learning, digital ethics, disruptive innovation, and decentralized organizations as a foundation for a radically new approach to making decisions, solving problems, and leading people.

The Algorithmic Leader offers a hopeful and practical guide for leaders of all types, and organizations of all sizes, to survive and thrive in this era of unprecedented change. By applying Walsh's 10 core principles, listeners will be able to design their own journey of personal transformation, harness the power of algorithms, and chart a clear path ahead - for their company, their team, and themselves.

The book doesn't actually teach you anything specific, but rather shares some interesting and thought provoking stories. The distraction in the book is Mike Walsh's smugness, lines like "I was drinking green tea in Tokyo with the CEO of xxxx," totally take you away from the messages that he's trying to deliver. I know that he's painting a picture, but it just comes across as unbearably smug, which is a shame. But if you can get past this and listen to the real content, it's a worthwhile read. You'll need to excuse me now while I drink my McDonald's milkshake in Milton Keynes with Donald Trump.

Once you get over the smugness, it's interesting
