A Data-Driven Revolution.

Author Jenny Dearborn’s vast experience, along with over 100 interviews with top global sales leaders, formed the foundation for Data Driven and The Data Driven Leader, which presents the fictional story of Pam Sharp.

 

New challenges.

After Pam’s successful analytics-driven turnaround as Chief Sales Officer in Data Driven, Pam is promoted to Chief Human Resources Officer. Readers will undoubtedly see themselves in Pam as she faces new challenges in her new role. Pam discovers the power of people analytics, applying the methods she used to lead her sales turnaround—identifying hiring and training strengths and weaknesses as well as helping transform a struggling sales team into an engaged and productive powerhouse. Pam generates organizational buy-in and builds data right into the structure of the company in a way that any manager can replicate.

 

In each chapter of The Data Driven Leader, Dearborn summarizes and provides insightful commentary on Pam’s story, distilling the crucial lessons into clear, actionable how-to steps and providing resources for both leaders developing their existing analytic capabilities and those starting their data-driven journey.
