Higher ups love to be "a data guy"! Just reduce all their responsibilities into a few numbers so they don't have to really understand what's going on underneath them. Have you notice how in love they are with their "progress dashboards"? They love to kick back and put their legs on the office desk watching minions making "progress" on OKRs so they can report that to their manager. It's too much work to really understand things and be on top of them anyways...
- parpfish 2y agoThe other way that being a numbers guy lets managers be lazy is that they will tell their data scientists to “do an analysis” so they can say that their product decisions are empirical and data driven rather than relying on any obvious design/product sense. If they can point to a number from a really poorly/quickly done ad hoc study, they’ll never worry about being told they made the wrong decision
