What This Looks Like in Practice 

At one community hospital, leaders had a biweekly productivity report—built in Tableau.

Most leaders weren’t using it in a consistent, operational way. 

Day-to-day decisions were happening in spreadsheets.
Performance was reviewed weeks later.
And no one could clearly connect what they were doing… to what showed up in the numbers.

“Just in case.” 
“Better to be safe.”

and the leadership team was formally recognized for the way frontline performance was managed.
