Data is your most valuable leadership asset--here's how to use it
The Data Driven Leader presents a clear, accessible guide to solving
important leadership challenges through human resources-focused and
other data analytics. This engaging book shows you how to transform the
HR function and overall organizational effectiveness by using data to
make decisions grounded in facts vs. opinions, identify root causes
behind your company's thorniest problems and move toward a winning,
future-focused business strategy. Realistic and actionable, this book
tells the story of a successful sales executive who, after leading an
analytics-driven turnaround (in Data Driven, this book's predecessor),
faces a new turnaround challenge as chief human resources officer. Each
chapter features insightful commentary and practical notes on the points
the story raises, guiding you to put HR analytics into action in your
organization.
HR and other leaders cannot afford to overlook the power and competitive
advantages of data-driven decision-making and strategies. This book
reflects the growing trend of CEOs choosing analytics-minded business
leaders to head HR, at a time when workplaces everywhere face
game-changing forces including automation, robotics and artificial
intelligence. It is urgent that human resources leaders embrace
analytics, not only to remain professionally relevant but also to help
their organizations successfully navigate this digital transformation.
HR professionals can and must:
- Understand essential data science principles and corporate analytics
models
- Identify and execute effective data analytics initiatives
- Boost HR and company productivity and performance with metrics that
matter
- Shape an analytics-centric culture that generates data driven leaders
Most organizations capture and report data, but data is useless without
analysis that leads to action. The Data Driven Leader shows you how
to use this tremendous asset to lead your organization higher.
