How do you collect the right data for your business, and once you have it, how should you respond? In this episode, Path for Growth coach Matt Aiken joins the podcast to talk about a data-driven approach to leadership. He shares 5 key principles for growing your business based on data. Matt and Alex also share a new perspective for leaders who might feel less comfortable with numbers and figures, reminding us that good data is ultimately telling a story.
