You can’t think your way out of a problem you behaved yourself into.
I’m a big believer in the power of data. One of my bosses used to say “Data beats no-data every time.”
Fans of Data Science tend to be over-confident that data alone is sufficient and obvious and of course it leads to the right outcome. Here’s good wisdom in a pithy sentence: “If all we needed was information we’d all be multimillionaires with six-pack abs.”
It’s about proper data for decisions AND behaviors to follow-through.
Sharp leaders do pay attention to data as a guide to making decisions. Execution and change are all about behaviors.
