Science is Progress — Even in Business
With vaccines really picking up in many countries, we are beginning to feel some relief and see a possible retreat of the ongoing COVID pandemic — and who do we have to thank most? Who has not only helped protect us, and are now helping to save us? The science community.
Built upon exploration, experimentation, research, data, trials and fact, science is progress. It has moved us amazingly quick from death and despair, to possibility and hope of recovery (in the U.S. and UK, at least).
But did you know how important science is in business? Did you know that leading and working using scientific methods can help you improve everything from customer experience to product relevance?
I personally as a leader moved from opinions and hunches to fact and data, helping to shifted my team. It made a huge difference in how we performed and even how we worked together. It was a new approach that proved to be worth the effort. But for some leaders it’s a big change. There’s a lot to learn. There’s a lot of logistics and tools to figure out, especially within teams. It also means no longer being the smartest in the room with the boldest ideas, but questioning what works best and asking others their thoughts and experiences, and testing different approaches and methods, quantifying outcomes.
I can help your team, or simply you as a leader, map out how to make this type of transformation. Because using the “science” (data, research, fact) we all have access to is the best platform for moving forward.

Today I wanted to talk about leadership in science. It’s April. It’s the month that we celebrate planet Earth. And a lot has happened on planet Earth in the last year or so. And I thought it would be a good month to start reflecting on the impacts that science can have on leadership. After a long year of COVID implications, I’m feeling more optimistic than I have been in a long time.
Thanks to science, our future is opening up, and I’m hopeful that by the end of the year, we will be putting a lot of these bad memories behind us. All of this naturally leads me to wonder and want to see how science can be applied in business and in leadership in particular.
Applying science in business leadership
I can share with you that the most critical steps in my life have happened and could happen only because I came prepared with serious research outcomes. The complexity of this world today does not give us even the luxury of wasting time and resources by doing steps without good footing. That’s what I would like to explore with you right now, how we could be shifting that together for you.
I have a question for you. Are you curious about how you can make a shift to fact-based leadership? I have personally made that shift a few years ago and learnt that it can help guide you and your teams. If there’s one thing I really have learned in coaching is to have no assumptions. Why never assume? Because there are so many variables.
The world is complex
Human beings are complex and the only way to truly know something is to research it. Study, ask questions, analyze strings, compare data. This is the way to really face any situation. Whether at work, trying to lead a team, interact with colleagues or introducing a new product or just life in general.
Scientists, progress, data and facts help change the landscape and the future.
Thanks for watching my video and sharing it around if you liked it and thanks to science and those scientists who are out there really improving our lives and our work.
