What Challenges Do Leaders Face in Evidence-Based Decision Making?
Despite its benefits, evidence-based decision making can be challenging due to:
Data Overload: The vast amount of available data can be overwhelming, making it difficult to identify relevant information. Quality of Data: Not all data is reliable or accurate. Leaders must ensure the sources are credible and the information is up-to-date. Time Constraints: Collecting and analyzing data can be time-consuming, which may delay decision-making processes. Resistance to Change: Employees and stakeholders may be resistant to decisions that deviate from traditional methods, even if evidence supports them.
