Data is your most valuable leadership assethere'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.

HR and other leaders cannot afford to overlook the power and competitive advantages of data-driven decision-making and strategies.

HR professionals can and must:

• Understand essential data science principles and corporate analytics models

• 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.
