We talk a lot about being “data-driven.” And yes—data matters. But leadership isn’t about who has the most polished dashboard.

In this video, we unpack a common leadership mistake: assuming that data tells the full story. It doesn’t. People do. And when your team feels like they can’t question the numbers—or worse, that they’ll be blamed if things go wrong—you’ve got a cultural issue, not a reporting one.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✔️ Why even the best data won’t lead to smart decisions without team trust

✔️ How soft skills like listening and asking the right questions drive better outcomes

✔️ Practical ways to invite your team into the decision-making process
