LEADERSHIP STATISTICS
Whoever heard of the two words "leadership" and "statistics" together in one title or even in one sentence? It does not sound like it is reasonable topic until you realize three things 1) to make effective leadership decisions you need information, 2) to get meaningful information you need data, and 3) to make sense of data you need statistics. With this understanding of the relationship between leadership and statistics, you can see why certain leaders are able to make "magic" decisions that turn out right every time. They seem to have this ability to divine the future after perusing a set of numbers. I came to this realization when I concluded my research on the importance of values and had to use statistics to draw important conclusions to my findings. Could it be that if leaders understood statistics, they could actually be more rational? I have a chapter in my upcoming book on Leading Corporate Transformation but this is a new field open to study and we may have time to revisit this in future.
