Quality Information is Not Dependent on Your Opinion
October 26, 2022
BONUS EXTENDED SUPER DUPER AWESOME EPISODE Taking a step away from the 22-25 minute format, the No More Leadership BS podcasters fully utilized our time with Devin Weeks. Devin is a reporter and photojournalist for The Coeur d'Alene Press. The episode does discuss journalism and also makes the clear connection into leadership. Think about a time you had to give your boss bad news. Not like, "Jeff is late again," or "Jeff can't find the meeting link," or "I'm not saying Sam didn't eat all of the monster cookies but there's no more and the container is in the trash." Bad news like not making numbers for the quarter or bad news like losing a portion of the market. Bad news that is objectively not good AND objectively accurate. But your boss isn't having it. They argue and debate and deny and never really come to grips with the fact that things just went poorly. To you, in your role, how important is it to have quality and accurate data? Would you tolerate anything less? As a leader, how do you react to bad news... frustration with the situation, or an attack on the facts? Effective leaders want quality data, but not everyone in a leadership position is effective. Join is as we explore the importance of having good information and how to respond when the data, or the source, is contested by someone who will be acting on that information.
