“Not everything that can be
counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." --
Albert Einstein |
Peter
Drucker observes, "Few executives yet know how to ask: what
information do I need to do my job? When do I need it? In
what form? And from whom should I be getting it?"
Billionaire
Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates
writes: "For me, goals and daily metrics are the key to keeping me
focused. If I don't have access to the right stats, every
day, it is so easy for me to move on mentally to the next thing. But
if I have quick access to key metrics every day, my creativity stays
within certain bounds -- my ideas all center on how to achieve
our goals."
The Bottom
Line: Leaders identify and track success measures
and consistently focus on achieving specific
goals. |
