Conversational Leadership and Warm Data
CL:
“Conversational Leadership sees leadership as a practice, something anyone can engage in, not through control but through conversation, care, and close attention to what is unfolding between people. This is also where warm data becomes essential.
Warm data is information that exists within context. It is subtle, layered, and relational. It is not the kind of data you find in a spreadsheet. It is the glance that speaks more than words, the shift in tone when something feels off, the quiet that follows a difficult question.
Warm data helps us navigate complexity, not by simplifying it but by noticing how things are connected. It moves through relationships and is shaped by emotion, culture, history, power, and meaning.
In Conversational Leadership, this type of information is not a side note. It is central.”
