This is building off of episode #67 (link) as I got a couple emails from people saying that they have tried change and it didn’t work. First off, depending on your company and leadership culture…you may not be able to drive change. If that is the case, it’s up to you to either deal with what you have or find somewhere else that has a better culture.
More to the point of this video, the message I got all had the same thing in common…they had a feeling and tried to drive change on that alone. Some cultures may be open to this, but MOST won’t. They want data to show that there is an opportunity to improve somewhere, and then they want tests that are backed up by data to prove it. Getting comfortable with data is key to being an effective leader.
Getting data to support change, isn’t just about changing policies, processes or how you do business…it’s also about changing perceptions. Perhaps your team is seen as struggling or failing…you need to be able to prove that your team is or isn’t. If you can’t, people will make assumptions based on what they perceive instead of what the reality is.
I hope this was helpful, if you have any questions, hit me up on any social platform or email at the website below!
