Q11: Significant lesson - career
One lesson I've learned that's proven significant in my career is the importance of data in decision-making. When I first started, I'd often rely on my gut and intuition.
While intuition is still important, sometimes I wouldn't have the full picture or understand other people's perspectives. Pairing my gut instincts with data and data-driven recommendations has been very significant.
This approach makes me feel more confident in my decisions, helps me back them up if there are objections, and normally leads to more well-rounded and successful outcomes. It's crucial to understand how to comb through, analyze, and synthesize data, as this can make a huge difference in an organization's trajectory and your own career path.
