Managing a team of Data Scientists can be tough. Often times the most talented Data people think, and act, in a “non-traditional” manner.
Expecting a data team to work like a typical 9-5 employee can be disastrous. Managing these unique individuals takes a special skill set.
In this program you’ll learn not only how to think like your team, but how to empower them to innovate and excel at their jobs. You’ll also learn how to communicate in a manner that completes the task(s) at hand but allows for creative problem solving as well.
Finding Data Science people can be tough. Retaining those people can be even harder. Once a (good) data science person finds the right fit with management and work environment, they stay for a long time.
