Feelings count for a lot, when they tell me the group isn't ready for the level of discussion I was hoping for, when the staff isn't ready for the amount of structure I was hoping for, when the person I'm conversing with seems distracted. I go with my "feelings" mostly in my leadership role. When it's countered by facts is every month when the financial health is shared, when goals and metrics are shared. But it is supported (or not) in feedback, culture surveys, and performance evaluations.
