Purpose, Ethics & the Algorithm: Will Ferguson on Leading Human

In this episode of Lead Human, Tim Spengler and Jack Myers talk with Will Ferguson – a marketing leader, and Ethics Commissioner for the town of Fairfield, Connecticut – about how service, values, and accountability translate from Afghanistan to the boardroom.

Will shares what he's learned about building teams inside huge systems, why he went back for his MBA a decade after undergrad, and how he thinks about talent and education in today’s tech-driven world. He talks about working alongside Afghan partners, seeing their courage up close, and what “leaving no one behind” really means when you come home.

They also dig into:

• What “purpose-driven values” look like inside data- and AI-obsessed companies
• How he approaches ethics in local government and in business decisions
• Why the name “Razorfish” is a surprisingly good metaphor for modern leadership
• 
  

If you care about leadership, service, or keeping your values intact in a world of dashboards and algorithms, this conversation is a grounded, human perspective you’ll want to hear.
