If you're doing these three things as a leader, you're going to have better success in facilitating your transformation than you would have if not thinking about them at all.” “There's data and there's also insight. And I think we spend a lot of time talking about, ‘how do we get insights that are gonna matter?’ I think those insights can be reported in meaningful ways, right? . . . So I would just encourage folks to continue to find those insights. And when you're stuck, [ask yourself], ‘what's the most simple thing that we can go after today to at least get some of those insights?’”Contact:Carlee's LinkedInDavid's LinkedInDwight's LinkedInProduction by Affogato MediaPodcast Manger: Karissa Harris To schedule a meeting with us: https://salary.com/hrdlconsulting For more HR Data Labs®, enjoy the HR Data Labs Brown Bag Lunch Hours every Friday at 2:00PM-2:30PM EST.
