The numbers on my screen tell one story, and the room upstairs wants a prettier one. I keep the data honest, but every quarter the pressure to round up, to spin it hopeful, presses harder. Being the one who will not paint it rosier than it is tests me more each time.
More people experience this than they realize.
You keep the data honest while pressure builds to tell leadership a rosier story.
