- The posts often open with a strong, simple assertion or problem statement

Running a successful data team is hard.

Your data team doesn’t need more headcount…

Emotion: a mix of frustration with industry dysfunction (FOMO, shiny tools, duct tape systems) and optimism about solutions.

There is measured urgency, not panic; more “we need to fix this” than “the world is on fire.”

- Rhetorical questions to engage and pivot

So, how can you get things done and move your data team forward?

Who should i talk to next?

- Contrast and reversals

You don’t need another dashboard… You don’t need more people… You need clarity…

The reality is, tools won’t fix a broken business strategy. But the right tools…

Repetition for emphasis (especially “They want… They want…”, “You don’t need… You don’t need…”).

Concrete details from real work (CTOs, SQL Server, 2500-line queries, Lambda functions).

- Occasional mild humor / irony

Of course you should be using Snowflake, Bigquery And Databricks right?

Just enough duct tape to keep the business running.

- Uses simple, accessible metaphors

drowning in random asks

duct-taping SQL Server

technical friction

- Dominant perspective: second person (“you”) to speak directly to

CEOs, VPs, data leaders, data engineers/analysts.

- First person (“I”) and “we” appear when

Sharing personal consulting stories or decisions.

Generalizing about the industry (“we are still facing many of the same problems”).

- Often uses soft but direct guidance

If you are a data or a business leader who wants to… then the Data Leaders Playbook community is for you.

So why not come and chat with other data people in Denver!

- Imperatives are generally friendly, not aggressive
