The first rule of evidence-based management: Show, don’t tell.
On the Evidence Soup blog, I wrote about a recent Talent Management article discussing medical research suggesting that poor management can cause real health problems. Sounds interesting, right? But instead of referencing the research or linking to it online, the Talent Management author simply restated the findings to support his point (and, I suspect, rephrased a few variable definitions along the way). Nothing wrong with supporting a point of view, but evidence-based management requires more discipline than that. We need to raise expectations so that people show us their evidence, rather than just tell us about it.

The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition. It’s perfect thought from my side.
A very smart and diplomatic answer. It’s really appreciable and general.
