How frequently business leaders will ignore advice from experts and "go with their gut" instead.
Business decisions based on feels rather than hard outcome data or cost analysis.
*in spite of hard outcome data or cost analysis

Takes one to know one lol
I recently had an employee bring up a gripe half a dozen times over the last few wks. A disagreement over how we do something in our business process. I disagree emotionally bc "I've always done it that way, and I know and like that way." But I trust and care about him. So in front of the team, for whom he advocated, I explained how I felt, but that I was trusting them and to run with it.
All the more reason to start replacing employees with AI starting at the top
Look buddy this business is run on vibes and vibes alone
I have friends who work in data. The amount of stories I hear about well drawn up reports, forecasts, and estimates they give leaders to only be thrown out with leaders saying "yeah but I don't think this is right" is just astonishing.
There really is a generational divide. Older leaders just go off what they feel. millennials and younger want some facts to back up those decisions
