Jason’s biggest takeaway from Missouri Leadership Academy, identifying the actual problem is key. Anomalies are indicators not necessarily problems in their own right. When an anomaly occurs, such as a drop in response volume, we shouldn't look for ways to boost the numbers but identify why it dropped. Why it dropped is the real problem to focus on.
