Wanna Keep Your Job?

Data Governance has entered the mainstream. There are thousands of you out there now, and frankly, the job is going to tough. We’ve been doing Data Governance since before some of you were born and over the years we’ve seen many people get fired, usually because of what they said rather than what they did.

Working in Data Governance means doing a lot of Conflict Management work, so we have to learn to say what we mean but not necessarily the first thing that pops in our heads.

We’ve recruited these two guys to share some “diplomatic” phrases that may serve you well. Yes, telling it like it is can feel good and some of you pride yourself on shooting from the hip. So go ahead and speak your mind – unless you want to keep your job.

Good luck!
