What a Talent Operations Manager at Kyo Wishes They Had Known Before Entering the Human Resources Industry
As a Talent Operations Manager, Chelsea learned that success isn't always about pinpointing the objectively "right decision," but rather about choosing a path and committing to it fully; in management, multiple options can seem viable, and the true outcome only reveals itself through action, highlighting the importance of decisive action and learning from the results. This approach emphasizes the value of trying and making a choice, even if, with hindsight, "maybe that wasn't the best decision."

What have you learned about this role that you wish someone had told you before you entered the industry?
It's not always about making the right decision; it's about making *a* decision. That is something I live by, especially in management.
You will often have multiple decisions in front of you, and they could all be right. You won't know the outcomes until you dive in, pick one, and run with it.
Over time, you'll see if it was the best decision, but at least you tried and made a choice.
