Having good inner parenting skills is the exception, not the norm, and it's the root of a lot of loss of productivity and bad role-employee fit. I'll bet $50 that if we studied it, we'd see that giving employees the resources to skill up in inner parenting saves lots of money.
Modeling nested data is hard, so I built this interactive visual explanation to introduce my data science students to hierarchical modeling. Modeled with #rstats, built with #d3js and #React. Enjoy!
