Data-Driven Leadership
Metrics that matter, dashboards that decide, experiments that settle arguments — without becoming a spreadsheet monk.
4 stages~6 h
That leaves 4 stages, ~6 hours of focused work. You can clear it in any order, but the stages compound — try them top-to-bottom your first time.
- You'll pick up:
north star metric, input vs output, leading vs lagging, vanity metrics, metric hygiene
Lab taskBuild a "metric garden" page: 20 common business metrics as draggable cards you sort into "drives decisions" vs "nice to know" vs "vanity" — with a justification field per card and a printable final three.
Build it in the LabCheckpointYou can defend your team's three metrics in a leadership meeting — including what you deliberately do not track.
What you'll be able to do
- Choose the 3 metrics that matter for a team and defend why the rest are noise.
- Spot the five classic chart lies before the presenter finishes the slide.
- Design a two-week experiment that settles a real disagreement.
- Run a weekly review where numbers change decisions, visibly.
