That feeling of being ignored
As a data leader, do you feel ignored by leadership?
When it comes to
budget
project approval
adoption of new tools
recognition for your great work
attempts to influence data culture
Do you feel like your requests just fall on deaf ears?
Do you know who else feels that way?
Joe from accounting
Sharon from marketing
Darryl from sales
Simpson from warehousing
Brittney from engineering
Andy from HR
Juan from Customer Support
Will from.... well no one is exactly sure what Will actually does.
In short.
Join the club.
Everybody feels ignored by leadership when their project doesn't get approved or their amazing new innovative idea is pushed until the next quarter.
The primary way to get the attention and buy-in from leadership:
Reliably define and measure your team's success
Connect that success to the rest of the organization's objectives
Consistently communicate updates about that success.
Iterate on the above three points as needed.
This is your pathway for your data team to get the attention, buy-in, and recognition from leadership.
I’m glad you are here,
Sawyer
