You've put the work in to build your city's data practice, but what, as a leader, can you do to ensure it's being used? What can you do to make sure YOU are using it? @ZachMarko and I put together some thoughts on how to not ghost your data team. 👇

The “debate” over whether data and evidence has a place in government is over - and btw, yes it does. But leading change isn't easy just because the case is clear. Some tactical reflections from myself and @ZachMarko on the importance of leadership to steward this work forward.
Every chief executive can lead with data, but many don’t know where to start. And that’s understandable — this work is hard. These tips from @altermolly + @ZachMarko are great for leaders eager to drive culture change that sets their cities apart. bit.ly/2JySsRK
