Is it the same as having a diverse workforce?

One of the articles of faith of the analytics movement is that we should move towards predictive analytics. There is a lot of appeal in the idea that we should ditch backward-looking measures for forward-looking ones. “You can’t drive by looking in the rear-view mirror”, we might quip with a smile. The first hint that there might be something wrong with predictive analytics is when you go to a conference and hear three or four presenters mentioning the concept.

As a leader a time will come when you have to write an email, memo or letter to address an issue of great importance or concern to you. Or, perhaps in response to something that displeased you, disappointed you, frustrated you, or upset you. Write that document. Then, let it sit. Preferably, let it sit for 24 hours. Then, re-read it. It's almost guaranteed you'll end up tweaking the document.

Ineffective Strategies Hinder Growth. Too many leaders settle for strategic growth plans that won’t work. Why? Because they don’t understand the difference between good and bad strategies, their strategic plans are flawed from the beginning. Strategies that lack an understanding of the key challenges that need to be overcome, have an insufficient focus, or that take an unrealistic approach are just wishful thinking.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
