Look at how resources are being allocatedThanks for listening!Quotes:
“Numbers representation—those are outcome things. They’re super important, but they’re not the only thing… If we’re focusing on just the number, solely the number, then we’re missing the point of what we’re trying to do.”
“You get more traction in this space as a leader, whether you're a leader by title or a leader by some other definition… by being authentic. So I would say, tell the story but also articulate where you're trying to get to and give folks space to do that.”
