DATA & LEADERSHIP

Team members frequently resist feedback in favor of their perceptions. They are unaware of their detrimental impact on others and pay little attention to advice, making them difficult to lead and unable to progress.

When properly collected and presented, data is indisputable and critical for leaders. It clears the air and helps team members understand their performance. Data from trustworthy sources is difficult to dismiss, and even stubborn team members listen to various viewpoints.

Leaders frequently collect and present massive volumes of data to resolve team issues. They recognize that a large amount of data can be the key to persuading someone to change their mind, thus they frequently collect more than is necessary. To convey this material objectively and unemotionally, leaders should carefully question others for their opinions in a structured fashion, thereby constructing an unbeatable case. This strategy aids in the development of a compelling argument for their team's point of view.

When a team member refuses to acknowledge their identity or their detrimental impact on others, it's critical to collect information about them. Good leaders should let the facts speak for themselves and hold those who refuse to accept them accountable. They can better comprehend the collective perceptions of others and work toward resolving the issue by gathering data.
