Directionally Correct, A People Analytics Podcast with Cole & Scott

Dr. Nathan Carter, Professor of Psychology and Org Behavior at Michigan State University, joins the Directionally Correct podcast to discuss his work on causal attitude networks, and innovative way of using causal inference to determine the roots of human behavior.
